fleshing a wild boar

I'm starting to flesh my first boar. I started on the armor fist and found it pretty hard to find the transition from skin to armor. I'm going to send it in to a tannery and was wondering how critical i had to be in removing it. Should i take it all the way to the honeycomb skin or is it alright to leave a little armor for the tannery to shave off? Kind of worried cause i also have some hair pulling out with the outer layer of colored skin coming out with it. Is this going to be a big problem after its tanned? Also if theres anyone who knows of any videos that show the mounting of a pig using the natural teeth id like to buy it!

Has a video featuring Rick Carter. It shows mounting a wild boar form A to Z. Lots of information. It's $19.95 and well worth it.

Rick Carters tape does not show using the real jaws and tusk. He uses artificial which I have used and they are really good ones. Hard to tell from real.

Real teeth are going to crack. Its not a if, its a when. Once the enamel dries out then bam cracking will take place. You may want to reconsider using real teeth. Good luck
