Pen blanks in the raw

[Monty]

First step in making snake skin blanks is to obtain the skin.
A good customer brought these to me yesterday at the hardware store where I work. They are frozen right now. I'll skin them and tan them next week when I have a little more time.

Rattlesnakes? Cousin had some meat and said it had a mild flavor. No, she didn't say it tasted like chicken.

Nice Diamondbacks! I used to get Prairie Rattlers frozen lime that every year. I was always happy to see they didn't have their heads! Many people don't know the works that goes into a snakeskin blank. Best of luck!
