Hide time

bjrogg:
I made a sheath for a neck knife and it gave me the bug to start working on some hides again. I fleshed two deer hides and put them on frames after I scraped the hair off two that were still in my frames from last winter. I have three hides brained and broke. Ready for smoke. Four scraped and ready for brains. Three on frames ready to scrap hair off. I've got a lot of work done and a lot ahead of me yet.

This is the project that gave me the bug again. It's commercial tanned deer hide from the person I made knife and sheath for. I've been nervous about cutting up my tanned hides. This little project gave me a lot of ideas and I'm much more comfortable cutting my hides up now.

PS I still have 2 red fox, a couple raccoons, a ground hog and a bear. Plus whatever else gets drug over here. Not sure I'm going to get it all done but I won't be running out of projects for awhile.

This is still on my list of stuff to do! I wanna try some fur on coyote to make a quiver. Hard to do with our coyote furs selling for just over $100 a pelt though!
