Yes....and if you find any mearuring tool you can get a visual. Some flat skins may not be uniform in thickness, which is common, depending on the process used to clean the flesh side of the head. Modern methods usualy mount an entire side of a carcas on a flat slab of wood & run this through a planer machine which shaves things down to become flat level & even out the irregularities., then the circles are cut. How ever, if after the head is mounted & seems to thick for your liking, you can use an orbital sander ( like what auto body workers use ) and with coarse grain sand paper, to remove material from the underside of the head. It takes time & experimentation but its better than discarding a head you spent time & effort to mount.
