I suck at boarding my first one looked like a diamond shape that’s 100% better than I did on my first. I use wire hoops they are just easier for me to use.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Looks good,industry standard is nails 1 inch apart.Give or take a quarter inch. Nail spacing doesnt matter if you are tanning it,but if selling they measure the shortest part of the scallops. You can lose a size grade by having too few nails.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

In the future if you plan to do a lot more beaver, get yourself a brad nail gun. I did after I lost a thumbnail. Your first try looks better than my first try did. You will improve the more you do.
Remember as a kid we played army and you gave up the fort so the other side got it? Of course you don't. Little kids aren't that stupid.
