Title: One Fox & One Beaver Needed
Post by: bearpaw on February 18, 2014, 06:34:13 PM: A family friend is going to tannery school and is required to have numerous skins to tan while at school. Still need a fox and a beaver, does anyone have one of each for sale?

Is it legal to buy two skins like this for tanning purposes?

Yes it is legal. You do not have to have a permit or license if you are buying for your own personal use.

Fox will be tough to find in WA.

Holes don't matter, but it's probably not cost effective to mail it. She found a fairly affordable source for the beav and fox.

That's $6 below what I just averaged for reds at NAFA. Usually sell the others on taxi.net. It be cheaper finding a beaver down there. But I've also got about every size you'd want for that as well they run $50-80. Fur Ronde this weekend they averaged $70 highs $150 I saw. AK fur ;)
