Lotta Muskrat Furs

Hello folks,
Recently my father has given me a bucket full of, guess what... furs. I was overjoyed :grin: . He picked them up at an old auction for 10 or so bucks :shocked2: . The bucket contained: 8 mink furs, 5 little funny looking long white weasles,A bunch of garbadge unrecognisable scraps,1 beaver, and 38.4 muskrat furs! :haha: (all with Fur on)Quite the load. Although I am still learning I am quite good with my hands so dont hold back with suggestions ... what can I do with them, what can I make... All suggestions welcome :thumbsup:

The funny looking long white weasles are indeed weasles in a winter coat called "Ermin". A sacred creature, they represent change, a cycle of life.

Great find, I wish I had it , I wouldn't be wondering what to make, I'd be whipping out bags fairly soon.
Here's one idea; http://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/266400/

Very cool, those muskrat pelts can make into some of the warmest gloves you'll ever wear. :thumbsup:

Ermine were and are highly prized furs to the Native American Community. They were worn on war shirts, war bonnets, and robes. Use them wisely...

Make a warm fur hat!
Nice find!
We see those ermine during elk season, usually in meadows. Always wanted to collect a few, make something purty.
