Started off like this.


Had to do a lot of scrapping.


And washing.


Tanning the hide.


On the rack to stretch it.


Now to let it sit.


Time to remove it from the rack


It'* huge. Makes the black bear look down right tiny.

Is that bison/buffalo ?

Yep, buffalo.

I hate fur'*. Not because I'm into animal rights, I just think they're gross. I can appreciate the time you put into it though to make it right for you.

nice dan thats a big fur man ive got a couple mainly deer and 1 grizzly on the floor at my lake house i like it never had a buffalo before that thing is huge

I have other furs as well. Would love to have a grizzly. All these furs are used in performances. It one of those things where fake looks wrong.

fake always looks wrong man if your doing it do it right and get real furs

Nice looking fur you have there! I've driven thru a heard of Buffalo out in Custer State Park by Custer SD. They only move if they feel like it.

So whats the plan dan? Custom Buffalo interior for the bonnie?

Still no set plan. Was talking to a friend this weekend. She said her son processes buffalo and was going to ask what they do with the hides. I might be getting a few more. With a bunch I do have a plan. A roof over the weapons booth at faire.
