What to do with wabbit?

Recommended Posts

I just picked up a couple of rabbit pelts for cheap (my local Scout camp's trading post had them for whatever reason, and was doing a blow-out sale.)

How do you suggest I use them (and/or how do people typically use them)? I generally do figure carving, so I've never used furs before.

For reference, I've attached a picture of the pelts.

Lined winter hat. Or possibly gloves/mittens. Scarf. Ear muffs.

How about a Russian Trooper Hat?

I grabbed one of the pics so if the link disappears, this will still have a picture.

Gloves are pretty complex to make, but I've got a pair of commercially made rabbit lined gloves that I LOVE in winter!

One thing to be aware of - rabbit fur sheds - a lot! It is not very durable, so using it as a liner may be your best bet.

I dunno what do with that darned wabbit

I have a number of skins I've picked up over the years. I sometimes put some out on my table at craft fairs and put small leather items on them. Seems a nice way to display the items
