Beaver tail is one of the smallest exotics we work with. The tail is flat and paddle-shaped, and its surface carries fine, tightly packed scales — a dense irregular grain that reads closer to a small reptile than to a fur animal. One tail yields very little usable leather, so a single piece makes only a strap or two, which is why you rarely see it on a watch. Hand-dyeing suits it: the scales take the colour at slightly different rates, so the blue sits deeper between them than on the crowns and shifts as the light moves. No two tails carry the same scale run, so the pattern on your strap belongs to that piece alone — refer to the product photos.
