A couple shady characters and a polecat. ;D This is testimony that polecats don't necessarily have to stink...this one would not be in my kitchen if it did!

continuation: Fleshed skinned fleshed and detailed skunk. I think this one should make a great hat and conversation piece even if it ISN'T fully 'prime'.

Well it looks like there are a lot of visitors here but otherwise this place is just plain DEAD. Sure is a nice polecat hanging in my tree out back. I should use the skin to make a hat.. just need to brain and soften and smoke and get busy sewing.. I do have some black quilted material I could use for a liner.. I'd like to see a hat with the head and front legs dangling and the tail tacked straight up off a persons forehead as it's being worn. I think that would look really cute and definately be a conversation piece. Don't ya'll think so? I think these guys are pretty cute little rascals, albeit a little dangerous.

Thanks for commenting 3Balls. I'm glad you enjoyed seeing my project. I wish you good luck on your hat project. Did you have any design in mind on how you might assemble one?

seen one that somebody cut the bill off a ball cap and sewed it around it tail hanging down the back. the tail sticking up would be cool ,lol, i have to say it would turn heads. i'v enjoyed your work and your ways for years. no disrespect intended but you have amazed me, amused me, and inspired me with your work, and sometimes all in the same post, LOL

Well I'm very glad to hear that. I just ordered David Montgomery's book called mountain man crafts and something or other. Always wanted it,,, but was inspired to order it after reading about someone wanting a coyote headdress over on pp forum. Seems that is about the only info on making those coyote skin hats out there so this book might surely be with the 7.! I went to plenty of trouble with my own mtn man hat. I had a ball cap in the one I made but just figuring out how best to adjust those furs to hang just right! Well can't mess up a backwards polecat too badly. Those two ruffians that dropped it off were thinking about what they were going to do with that polecat if I didnt want the tanning job. Think if I hadn't taken it, it may have been discovered in someones mailbox! Geez... That would be a surprise! ;-)
