When tanned fur is used it is blocked back to its proper size,its not used in the condition it comes from the tanner. An understretched raw skin will block out to its bigger (proper) size after tanning.It will also be bigger than other skins in the tanned batch before blocking if it was understretched when raw.Its all about usable sq inches.Graders also bump dried skins up or down to account for narrow or wide stretch or pointed noses. So beav is correct.

See plunger I knew I was right. LOL
And by just pulling a hide by hand you can't over stretch.

I've always sold at the state auction and the averages always seemed to be the same with properly handled fur rather it was on wood or wire. I just plain ol' like the look of fur put up on wood.

Skins for strips are blocked twice.Once to do repairs to the skin and take out the puckers and exess stretch from the leather,and again after cutting and sewing all the strip pieces together,to take out the pucker marks from stitching,and to give the strip a slight curvature to go around the collar or hood.

You can't the maximum out of any hide that Is put on wire. Since you can't pull down the flanks to square off that hide. And we all know when measuring for size they measure to the shortest part of said hide. And pulling down the flanks to square off that skin isn't going to weaken that flank leather. Plunger groney has you brain washed well maybe not. LOL

Is a solid 29 inch dried coon skin from nose to base of tail a 2Xl or 1Xl with GFW...?
If everything is even across, minimum length anywhere is 29 inches...

You cannot over stretch by hand a good heavy coon. Boards give uniform look to sets and the length gained is definitely not a waste of time for the trapper. I don't want to argue what happens after the dress. If it is thinner in the flanks they will lower it a grade pile anyway. Silly argument actually. LLL

just for the information of those who want to put up fur and sell to groenewold. they prefer the coon put up on wire stretchers over wood Sold lots of coon to them that had been stretched on wood with no issue. I agree with dirt. LLL Not doubting you did Larry...I simply stated what they prefer...didn't say they wouldn't buy em.

Wrong beav. You were brainwashed by NAFA, and look where that knowledge (or lack there of) got them....BELLY UP! I'll stick with the knowledge of a company who is thriving and expanding thank you. Just a few years ago there was an Auction company in Canada that was thriving and expanding in a declining market.
