I know our fur is not worth much, but I'd like to try putting a little up so I don't feel like I'm being wasteful. If you don't like being wasteful my advice is to chunck those hides and find something else to spend your time on. If you were to get REALLY GOOD at skinning, fleshing and drying furs, sold them every season and saved your profits you'd have enough money to take your wife out to eat at McDonald's in a couple 3 or 4 years.
Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience. Emerson

As North40R stated, there isnt hardly any money in selling furs. I did some as a gift for a friend.
I used some pine to make the board, some thumb tacks, and a 1 Handle Fleshing Tool. I would probably buy a hide next time vs doing it myself.

Have you guys ever done deer hide? You talking hair on hide or making buckskin? Hair on would be tough without a machine to thin the hide to make it more pliable.
