I had a couple of zebra hides tanned here in the states. When I picked them up, they were all balled up in a
Cardboard box and wrinkled. The tannery didn’t thin the hide properly to make it nice and soft on the back either.
I talked to a taxidermist who said I could sand it down on the back to get the proper suede texture and wet it and work out the wrinkles. If I do the work, it reminds me that I paid good money for poor workmanship and it pisses me off every time I look at it. If you do the work, you get a father-son project that results in a free zebra hide rug snd I get to imagine I’ve made someone happy by giving it away.
So here is the deal: if you’d like zebra skin rug, it is yours.
