new Jan Van Hoesen Fisher form

Submitted by Jim on 10/15/05 at 2:35 PM. ( ) 69.87.193.157

I ordered this new fisher form from WASCO. It comes with the left front and right rear leg removed. should I attach the legs before I put the skin on,or put the legs in the hide and then the body? How do I attach the legs to the body if I put the legs in the hide first? Can I pose the fisher and then just pin the legs through the skin. Any advise from someone that has used these would be appreciated. thanks

..the design is so that you can take a ventral cut fisher and mount it without having to cut the legs open. I cut them off on all animals I get that way. I do, however, wedge cut it so that they'll fit back evenly and I put epoxy down in the groove to insure they are held in place after the hide is taxiied.
