Grizz here.
I flesh first. I've got some S shaped 3 edge needles they use for post mortum work. With the S shape, you can keep a good grip on the needle. Had them for so long I can't remember where I got them. I'll take a length of plain
dental floss string it though the needle then tie a knot. Now the floss is doubled up. Then I take a piece of bees wax
and wax the floss so the two strands bond together. Baseball stitch. Another trick after the pelts are completly dry. Brush them out with a dog brush then spinkle
on plain corn starch. Rub it thruogh the hair real good, then shake the pelt to get rid of the excess. This seperates
the individual strands of hair and makes that fur light up.
You will be amazed. Rick
