When do you tumble? I assume after fleshin. Does it not leave stuff all over the pelt?

And... whats the thinner for? 3 big coffee cans of Grit and 1/2 cup thinner to clean and shine the fur up. Works really well and the buyers pay me good for my putup fur.

How much a bag for the corn cob grit ?
Ever try hardwood sawdust ?
Approximate RPM's of the tumbler ?
Is there a big difference in the finished product between using the regular dryer tumbling speed and your pulley reduced tumbling speed ?
How many fox or yote can be put in the tumbler at once ?
Ten minute cycle ?
Are those your helpers pictured on the wall?
Nice set-up. thanks for sharing

How much a bag for the corn cob grit ? $15
Ever try hardwood sawdust ? No it's to fine and hard to get out of the fur.
Approximate RPM's of the tumbler ? 25 RPM
Is there a big difference in the finished product between using the regular dryer tumbling speed and your pulley reduced tumbling speed ? Yes with the slower speed the fur drops down into the grit. Normal speed the fur stays on one side of the drum and stays there.
How many fox or yote can be put in the tumbler at once ? 4 fox or 2 Coyotes
Ten minute cycle ? 10 to 15 minutes.
Are those your helpers pictured on the wall? And yes they take turns helping me during the week. On weekends they are all there. Then it gets hot and crowded in the Furshed.
Nice set-up. thanks for sharing No problem!

Kill it First Then Eat it. If you cant eat it skin it. If you cant skin it turn it into bait. If you cant use it for bait then.....
