Finished Tanning My Gator Hide

Here is a link to a time lapse video I made of processing a gator.

We cut the back of separate because it makes processing easier, but you can skin them a couple different ways if you want the scutes in the hide. We didn't mind taking them off because they don't make the best leather. Really hard because of the bone in them.

We are going to use the back plate to make some gun slings. Not sure about the rest of the leather yet, but I'm thinking of making a few wallets and knife sheathes.
