I have a customer that brought in a tanned wolf hide that he would like to mount.
The problem is:
It was already tanned and the ears where never turned.
Anyone have any words of wisdom, advice, tips and tricks on how to re-hydrate then spit and turn these with out tearing them up.

Make sure you sweat at least 24 hours in a fridge. Then very carefully, by hand and with scalpel, open the ears gently. You'll have sore fingers and you still risk the chance of losing hair on canid ears,but it's the only way.
Try injecting the ears with windex then start to turn as they soften
this works well with freezer burned ears as well
I'll try injecting Windex on into freezer burned ears next time....
Thanks again !
