HI all
I am getting to the point where I think rabbit skins should be used rather than thrown away.
But I have never tried to do anything with it before.
I have read somewhere (I think the L Wiseman SAS guide) that if you want to keep the fur all you need to do is clean it of meat and fat and then force dry.
But if you want to remove the fur you need to soak it after the cleaning and then tan it with fat and brains.
At the moment I would like to keep the fur. if this is a sucsess then I may think of trying tanning.
So my question is have any of the learned folk on here got any tips or resource I can use?
Is there anyone on here that does this regularly?
when is it best to clean the skin strait away or do you leave it a while?
best way of removing the fat and tissue?
Many thanks for any help
