I'm sure this has probably been done before. This is my version. Small banded water snake skin.

The title made me think the crazy cajun was on the loose again with his secret sauce and a spatula to pry a critter off the tarmac again. Re: Roadkill

While I was skinning it I did wonder what it would taste like crispy fried. He was just a little too small. Re: Roadkill

Really very nice results . How did you "cure" the skin ?

Thanks Ronald. I washed and scraped it while it was inverted. Next I chose a blank that would fit the skin in the correct place meaning it was installed where it would stay permanently. Then I put it in the Equinox 3000 oven (my car in the driveway) for a few days. Make sure to lay down some protection under the blank. It leached out some pretty nasty liquid. After it was dried I trimmed both ends. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
