Well, I had been seeing this mostly black squirrel running around my neighborhood for a while. I told my wife if he buys the farm I would love the tail. This morning he did, not by me! Interesting, I had done buck tail and doing a squirrel tail is different! Not much to it. So, I carefully split the tail, removed the bone, scraped what little there was inside and nailed it a board. Lots of Borax and waiting now. It was interesting to note some of the hair came off very easily. But I think I'll have a nice black bunch of squirrel hair to use!
