<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I'm looking for anyone who has experience preserving large ratite skins for study and education, who is willing to chat. Ideally the skin would be flexible enough to store, but also use for study and education. When I try to look up methods,
I'm mostly getting information on tanning ostrich hides for feather-less leather and not for study/keeping feathers on.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">If anyone has experience with large ratites (a rhea and cassowary are on the task list as well) please let me know :)<o:p></o:p></p>
