Young White Tail Doe Earsby ~xDoglate

Artisan Crafts / Leatherwork / Taxidermy

Well a young White Tail doe got hit near my house, poor thing :/ I was able to forage the ears and hooves though. Beautiful ears. Big and somewhat soft, a beautiful grey-brown color, the back being much darker, the front even having some white parts.

Hooves: [link]

Are these tanned?

~xDoglate Dec 1, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

No, just salted. I think it's a bit better to just salt it rather than tan, because the tanning makes it flexible whereas salting it makes it stiff so it won't move and all. It makes things stay in place easier.

Ah I see

Looks great!

I'm in the same boat as cabinet curiosities, if you get another set of ears or decide to sell these ones, i'm interested too

Hahaha I'll be sure to remember that C: Thanks

Oh those are absolutely beautiful.

~xDoglate Nov 5, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

I agree ^^ Thanks

I would love to own ears like that but I don't know what I would do with them sadly.

~xDoglate Nov 5, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

I just look at them and enjoy them, then when I've had my fill, I'll sell them so someone else can enjoy them. And most likely, when that person has had their fill, THEY will sell them, and so on.

~Sindima Nov 5, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I agree with this. I just want to make sure that all the things that come into my possession and well loved and taken care. I have seen somethings on here passed around so often it kinda makes me sad.
But I know what you mean here

I am glad you were able to salvage them. I don't have a very understanding
