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. These are my personal best hides that I am disposing of . They don't get much better!

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 skun out leaving the the complete face and most of the leg intact. Then 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.

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!

Beaver have one trait lots of other animals don't have. They all seem to be a different size! So each pelt here is just about a different size.

Beaver pelts also are not cheap to get professional tanned. In fact it costs more to get a medium beaver pelt tanned than it does a deer hide. I am offering a good value here for these top notch tanned pelts.

All the beaver pelts and hides shown here make wonderful throw rugs to put over the furniture in your home or office!

Tanned Deer Hides

I have just several of these for sale. These are beautifully tanned, soft hides. These are taken from large Maine bucks that have fully prime fall coats.

These hides are tanned and shipped back to me flattened in a box. When taken out they have wrinkles in them. This is normal. When you leave them laid out flat for a week the winkles disappear.

These hides make great throw rugs over furniture in your home. But I hand picked these beautiful hides to paint on like the Beaver hides above. They are about the best I could get.

I turned over the top edge so you can see the beautiful tanning job.

The deer hides are beautifully tanned by the countries best tannery. They are very soft and flexible and are just like cloth. These hides make beautiful paintings, especially the beaver. We have sold these hides to painters for years. They look great draped over a piece of furniture. You can't find better hides. No tails unless specified on indiviual hides below.

Moose Hide

This is a very nice section of Moose. Tanned just like the above pelts. Moose hides are usually so big its almost impossible to find a spot for one. This hide is just right. What I did was lay out the whole moose hide and then I cut out the best section of it to have tanned, as you see here. Worked great. This hide measures 48 by 65 inches and makes a great throw rug.

These three hides have been on a string and were hanging in my gallery. They are in good shape but have been handled quite a bit and the leather sides are slightly soiled. Other than that they are fine and could be washed.

SOLD

Ermine Pelts

These are weasel pelts. 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 the price of a raw pelt is so low no one wants to bother with trapping one, 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.

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 too. They aren't even afraid of humans and will allow you to walk appoach 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 pelts!
