Beaver Hoop

After thoroughly fleshing the beaver hide, starting with the positions of the clock; 3, 6, 9, 12, pierce the very edge of the beaver hide with one of the sharp-pointed clips and then pull back on the hide and hook the opposing point of the clip over the wire frame of the beaver hoop. Keep dividing these quadrants in half with the clips, continuing to pull the clipped hide back and clipping the opposing end of the clips over the steel frame until there is approximately one clip every inch around the entire circumference of the beaver hide. The hide should be snug, not overly tight on the hoop. Remember, it will tighten up as it dries. Each hoop includes 70 clips.
