My husband has been asking me for several weeks about how to tan, preserve the pelts, and fur of rabbits. He wants to do this once we start butchering. I encouraged him many times to join RT, and have him post about it. My thought was, he could do the posting/learning/research of that while I do the same for everything else that I personally do with the rabbits. I figured since HE is the one that wants to do it, he can learn about it. (Not that I do NOT want to do it, but it's something that would be HIS project to do with the rabbits.) Well every time I suggested he make an account here, he would just stare at me. He asked me again last night about the pelts, and finally I decided to make a post myself, lol.
So here I am posting, lmao.
We want to save the furs for probably a variety of things such as clothing, sewing (mittens, boots, and hopefully a fur blanket for our bed,) unaltered pelts just for selling.
We have thought about brain tanning, but know there are many other methods as well, and want to try a few to see which one suits our needs best.
I have done some small research on Google, but honestly I prefer, and more so trust the advice, and knowledge of the users here.
I'm seeking any, and all advice possible. Steps to tanning, and preserving, sewing ideas, helpful products, maybe even some user errors so know what NOT to do. :lol:
