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. ![]() -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER! Very Happy CP Lifetime Member CP CORE TEAM Referral Code CE213 |

That would be an incredible blanket! Now you have me wanting one.
But ya, 50 pelts is a lot. They're not expensive. I can get them from fly shops for under $5 each, tanned and soft. I bet you could get em for about half that price in bulk. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

$3.49 each is as low as I see first glance.... that's about $200 for 50.
That's too pricey for me so far but I might dig deeper. Pelts -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER! Very Happy CP Lifetime Member CP CORE TEAM Referral Code CE213 |

Denise, you have enough bunnies "on the hoof" at your place now to make a blanket, and there would be enough meat as we all know they are very well fed! Just kidding, I know those guys are more pets than a food/pelt source...... unless the boot drops. I hope to be long in the ground before that happens!

Definitely enough bunnies here to make a blanket. Would be a lot of work killing, skinning, tanning the hides and preparing the meat though.
![]() $3.50 a pelt sounds like a better plan! Have you seen how much those things go for yet? Sure are beautiful though and I bet really warm. ![]() Fur Blankets ![]() -------------------- Education is the key to the future,
