Hello all, Very interesting to read about your fur experiences. I'm here down under in South africa and also make bears by recycling fur coats. Mink was the best to work with, Raccoon the most difficult. I do make a lining for every piece of the bear so when the bear gets stuffed I pushed the stuffing against the lining and not against the fur. I have found that sometimes one does not always see the weaker parts in the fur, and might push the stuffing right through a weak part in the fur. AND that after you have done your sewing and cutting. So I make sure I do line the bear. A bit of extra work but well worth the time saved fo the mishap.:)
Hello Chris,
