NOTICE : ALL the hides and pelts below have been tanned to perfection
by the worlds best wildlife fur dressing company. Each hide or pelt
has its leather side buffed to a nice smooth finish. Each pelt is
very soft, just like cloth and could be made into any article or
clothing. Look at the leather side of the beaver pelt below. All
the hides and pelts are like that.
All the hides and pelts may have bullet holes or a few skinning
cuts which is normal. Most of these have NOT been repaired, which
again is normal. This is the way most want them and the way they
are sold. All the hides and pelts below are Class AAA unless otherwise
noted.
All items on this page are one of a kind and
are close out items and all sales are final and non refundable:
It is just way to much work to put one of a kind items on and off
the web site!
In ALL -repeat - ALL the shopping cart boxes
below on the WHOLE PAGE
DON'T order more than one hide per box.
There is only one hide per box available - NO more unless otherwise
specified in the order box itself in which I usually write - Several

Tanned pelts are not cheap to get professional tanned. Then besides
the price of tanning, you have to buy the raw hide, then there is
fleshing, salting, stretching and drying, and shipping back and
forth to the tannery. I am offering a super value here for these
top notch tanned pelts.
All the pelts and hides shown on this page make wonderful throw
rugs to put over the furniture in your home or office!

Beautiful
Tanned Whitetail Deer Hides
These are beautifully soft tanned by the worlds finest tannery.
They are soft as cloth and can be hung over couches, chairs, elc.
They also make great wall hangings. Deer hides are covered with
hair, not fur. These hairs can be broken and shouldn't be walked
upon.
I have seen wonderful paintings done on the backs of these hides,
just like the Beaver Hides below. You will be delighted with one
of these hides.
Deer hides are known as the aristocrat of american leather. Nothing
else compares. Tanned deer hides are very soft, flexible and tough.
The leather can take a beating and keep going. Many moccasin's are
still made from tanned deer leather.

Beaver Pelts
These
beautiful beaver pelts have very long silky fur. These pelts are
fully prime and have been hand picked by me out of hundreds of hides
to be the best of the lot. Each pelt was perfectly stretched to
give the exact shape I wanted. You won't find beaver pelts taken
care of like this anywhere else.
After trimming, Artists will take these beaver pelts and stretch
them on a wooden hoop frame, made from a slender tree. The pelts
are tried around the inside of the hoop with rawhide, just like
the real Indians used to do. The pelts can even be wetted first,
then they dry super smooth on the hoop. Blankets and Super Blankets
are references to trappers and hide buyers size lingo. It is there
way of referring to really large beaver pelts commanding premium
prices.

The artist use oil based paints, and on the leather side paint
some beautiful scenes. They paint right over the holes in the hide
leaving the holes. Some of these are super good! I watched these
sell on an auction and a few went for several thousand dollars.
Here's your change to try your hand at this!

Muskrat Pelt
Beautiful soft tanned muskrat pelt. Soft silky fur. This is what
most common fur coats are made of, then the fur is called by other
exotic names. Muskrat pelts are trapped by the millions for this
purpose. There fur and hide is very durable. They eat nothing but
very clean vegetation and are extremely good eating. The problem
is they got the wrong name. In places where they are eaten, they
are called by other names.

Ermine Pelts
These are weasel pelts. Long tail and Short tailed weasels are
brown in summer and white in winter. They keep the black tipped
tails year round. Some don't get completely completely white. These
tanned pelts are very difficult to find now because no one wants
to bother with trapping them, let alone taking the time required
to skin out the animal. Then because the hides are so small, not
many tanneries want to tan them so the tanning bill is high. Very
difficult to find.

These beautiful animal pelts were in great demand many years ago.
Many a kings robe was made using these beautiful animal hides. Now,
that no one traps them, in many areas they are extremely numerous
and they quickly deplete the wildlife population. One animal kills
thousands of ground nesting woodland song birds and other animals
each year. These weasels will attack much bigger game than themselves
and kill just for the sport of it, killing many more animals than
they could ever eat.

This little animal can even kill a big chicken. One small Ermine
can wipe out a whole chicken coop in one night as I can attest to.
They aren't even afraid of humans and will allow you to walk approach
quite closely, and even approach you! I've had them walk right up
to me to check me out.
These are absolutely beautiful tanned pelts. They are very soft
and beautifully tanned. Very clean, top notch cased skun pelts!
They come either pure white as per top picture or rarely sometimes
with a darker strip down the back as per the bottom picture.

Northern
Coyote Pelts
These are the most gorgeous Northern Maine coyote pelts I've seen.
These were hand picked by me from racks of dozens to get just the
most perfect ones I could. These are all super colorful and very
large Maine Coyotes.
These coyotes average 70 lbs or more. Twice as large as the typical
southwest or western coyote. These animals also get the most beautiful
long silky fur up here in Maine during our cold long winters. These
pelts are top notch coyote pelts, you won't find better anywhere.

Hide Pieces
|
|

These pieces of tanned hides can be re-soaked in plain water and
softened and stretched over objects and left to dry. The wet pieces
can even be sewn up and used just like you would a piece of cloth
in making various articles. It is amazing to me to hear from some
of you and what you are doing with these pieces.
There are those making artists paint brushes out of them, some
are covering small plant pots, covering coffee cups making pencil
holders. They are great for fly tying and making fishing lures.
The list goes on and on, you can use these pieces to the full extent
of your artistic abilities and imagination. Others are buying them
for show and tell, some for class room instruction.
I wanted to show you what the back side of these tanned hides look
like. You can see this in the picture I have placed just above..
I have also measured the hides so that you could get an idea of
the size. The measurement I have given is mostly the inside blocky
area of the hide and does not include any lengthy ends sticking
out. I guarantee that the pieces are larger than the measurements
I have given here on all the hide pieces.
Some of the hides are very, very difficult to get or find. Many
pieces are absolutely one of a kind you won't find anywhere else.
All of the hides below have been fully tanned, tumbled, and dryed.
You can re-soak them in water for a couple of hours and then sew
up to make dozens of things out of them. Please have fun with these.
All of the hides below are NON returnable. It is simply too much
work to put them on this web site, take them off and then have to
put them on again. So please don't ask to return these hide pieces.
Thank You and have fun making things.

| Many of you have wrote me telling me about how you are
sewing the hides and that it is very difficult for you to push the
needle through those thicker hides after they have been wetted and
relaxed. This is because you are using a regular Round Head sewing
needle, or even a needle made for sewing up shoes in a shoe shop.
These will NOT work and yes you will have a difficult time sewing.
These are not the kind of needles we use. We use upholstery thread
and a special three edged needle that goes through even the thickest
wet hide like a breeze. You won't have any problems sewing up the
pieces with one of these needles. Because some of you want one of
these needles I have made a link here for you to buy one because these
needles aren't available in stores. I just want to make your life
more fun! |

Special Needle for Sewing the hides. Item # Hide

Please note: Most of these pieces are being sold
for far less than my orignal tanning costs. The tannery now charges
$30.00 to $75.00 per square foot to tan hides plus shipping to and
from the tannery, and then there is the cost of buying the hides,
salting, fleshing, drying, packing ..............
