<p class="MsoNormal">Miranda,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have done this a number of times with hides of varying weights, the heaviest being a horse hide, usually showing drawings on the skin side. It should work for a bison hide as well, although the hide will be very heavy.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Normally, I would first prepare a backing board. The board could be the shape of the hide or a rectangular piece that is slightly larger than the hide. The image shows a plexiglass backer, but it would be stronger to use plywood. Cover
the board with a fabric with a nap – polar fleece works very well – it grabs the hide and will help to hold it in place and provide a protective layer from the wood board. The clips are pressure fit. The ones in the photo wrap around the backing board and
are adhered into place. With a wood backing board they could be screwed into place and this would be stronger. If you have a rectangular board the clips do not have to be bent around the board, simply screwed to the backing board. This would probably be
more secure, since Plexiglas weakens as you bend it. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The edges of the clips should be rounded and flamed to soften the edge and prevent it from cutting. And it should be wide – wider than the ones in the photo. You can use as many as you need to fully support the hide. This will spread the
stress so that one area is not stressed too much. You could use brass or metal clips, if they were sufficiently wide and padded with felt or something to prevent damage to the hair.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If at all possible, I would suggest that you kick the bottom edge of the backing board out from the wall – even slightly – the hide will be exceedingly heavy and an angle will reduce the stress on it.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Another option would be to create a padded rod and have the hide lay over the rod – I am just considering how heavy a bison hide with hair is.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Let me know if you have any questions and I will try to help.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D">I am aware of an institution that had to battle a major clothes moth infestation in its collections storage. The source of the infestation (“ground zero” as we say) was eventually determined to be
a bison hide. The thick fur gives plenty of opportunity for harbourage and feeding to go unnoticed. It’s a good idea to be diligent about your IPM and keep that in mind when making decisions about display as well. I might be inclined to suggest an exhibit
case for easier dust control and IPM monitoring. Good luck!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
