Kentucky whitetail
« on: May 07, 2011, 06:20:09 AM »
I finished this buck a couple weeks ago.  He's got a beautiful cape that I almost tossed out because it was cut short and hacked up something awful.  After lots of work and several test fits and three forms I finally made it work.  The three forms is a story all by itself.  I accidentally learned something very useful that some of you other taxidermy guys might like to try.  I started out with a 17" wet tanned cape and ended up needing a 20" form.  Any one else know how to make your cape's grow a few inches?
