Hey, y'all,
I'm briefly back in NC and going to VA to visit my aunt and attend a friend's wedding this weekend. I fly back to Seattle on Sunday. I was looking at my tanned beaver and raccoon furs from my first trapping seasons here and have decided to take them hack to Washington with me so I can hopefully make some stuff out of them. But I need some suggestions. I know I've asked before, but thought I'd ask again.
My father likes the beaver hoop I made for my nephew, so I'm going to make one for him with the one good beaver pelt I have that has only one hole in it. I'll try to sew up the hole if I can before I make the hoop. But my other beaver pelts have some holes in them since they were from the first beavers I ever trapped, skinned, and fleshed. So I'm wondering what to do with them. Maybe fur lining for a coat or boots? Anyone have any suggestions?
I also have 3 raccoon pelts that I have no idea what to do with. I messed up the tail on one when I was skinning it, so it's really short. I don't think it'd make a good hat. I could probably make hats with the other two, but I don't know what to do with any leftover fur and the one with the short tail. Anyone have any ideas they could suggest?
