Follow the directions listed. I find it easiest to hang them by the neack and just follow that natural line. Be careful around the back area, the skin is real thin there and it will tear easy.

Thanks for the info guys(And Jennifer thanks you also).Its turned out nicely.I used a case cutter instead of a filet knife,much easier.Hody,you weren't kidding,the back skin is as thin as my wallet on a friday morning
I'm letting it dry now,I'll post pics if I can figure out how  |
