Beautiful skinner, I use to work for a butcher and that’s what I did during deer season was skin all the deer they brought in this would have worked nice for that job. The one I had had a good curve on it though. I love the stand, sapwood, knots and all, just beautiful. To me it set off the piece. Good one mike
