Racoon hat pattern
Russ:
Thanks ed! This is better than a pattern! Ill definentially take pictures and since it sounds like i wont be using the head right away i can tan it right away! Well, once a strecher comes! ;D
My dad ran over a huge racoon last week on accident! We were driving to our hunting spot in the dark. He wouldnt let me go get it. :'( ;)
BowEd:
You don't need a stretcher to to tan a coon unless your putting up coon to sell to fur buyer.You need a little shop to do all of your tanning in.
Russ:
How would i do that?
Russ:
ahh never mind :-[ ;D
BowEd:
A shop you can boil all the brains you want to tan hides without upsetting your mom.You can flesh hides/dehair/ soak or whatever you want with your hide work.You could get it heated too to work in the winter.
I'm old now but used to have that heated with wood stove shop set up for years in a farm house basement brain tanning.Nowadays I just brain tan for myself and trade a little and not to sell any more and don't do as many hides per year.
It's good you have the interest into this.You can make a ton of things with your leather and rawhide.
