I dying Rabbit hide (sorry Denise!)... one wine and one tan. The hides were white originally.
These will be used for fly tying! I'll get many dozens of flies out of these.

The polishing wheel with the sheepskin works great. Would really like to make a pair of moccasins from some.
 Need to test out the leather thimbles yet but I'm sure they will work great.....not to mention I was in great need of another pair of fingerless gloves. Last pair was falling apart bad.  Lots of memories behind those gloves but will make new ones with this new pair.I will definitely try the conditioner out with this rabbit pelt I have Chris. -------------------- Education is the key to the future,
