So with coon being almost worthless this year, I kept 5 or 6 flat coons to tan. I used the orange bottle, with a real pickle and not just a salt bath. They turned out pretty good in my opinion. I found a pattern online and made some big gauntlet style mittens. It took most of an afternoon of hand sewing, but I think it was worth it. I even used them a month ago while blowing snow. They were every bit as warm as my $40 cabelas gloves. Then I added a coon fur trim to my 9 year old daughters coat. She wasn't sure what to think about it at first, but she gets lots of compliments from people that notice it is real fur.

Nice!

Great work! Those look awesome!

Heck yeah I want to do this so bad I have three coon I'll be tanning and hopefully make a pair of gauntlet style mittens like you made

Very nice. Great work. Can you post the pattern. Thanks
