I stretched all those coon on 1 dozen #4 stretchers. I'm switching this year to 2 dozen wood stretchers though. I learned some things at the fur sale. Losing 200 dollars on fur put up will teach you to use wood.

what did they tell you abt using wood verses wire stretchers?
wire is what I have used btw

Wood gives you better length and a better uniformity of pelts. I don't know if you've noticed, but every pelt you pull off of wire looks a little different. When you put them on wood, they all have the exact same shape and dimensions. Buyers are looking for that real narrow nose, and 7-8 inch wide hip area. Wire can work if you know what you're doing, but wood is just so much more convenient for a consistent put up. However, if you do fine with wire, rock on! I just know that wood is going to help my put up personally.

right ig everything is mostly personal preference. personally I havnt done much fur put up. last year was my first and I think I put up maybe 20 critters sadly. and then this year I mostly just trapped beaver and I'm selling them green so ig I'll js have to do more and find my "personal preference " lol

Good to know; Imma make some wooden stretchers over the summer

show us some picts cowboy!! and the dimensions lol

when you make them of course

Will do! I have a few books tellin' me how to make em

yup
