Tanning/fur questions

[Killer_Primate]

Following the recommendation of a fellow hunter in the small game forum I'm posting this here. Sorry for the repeat.


Hello, please bear with me and my ignorance on this subject. I"™ve hunted for quite a few years now, but primarily focusing on deer and turkey. I would like to start making some hunting clothing/accessories out of furs and have no experience other than reading about it. I want to start out small with maybe a hand warmer for my son and was leaning towards rabbit fur. I"™d also like to toy around with some custom hat liners for the extreme cold.

What I"™d like to know is;
- Is one type of fur better suited for this type of craft?
- Tanning practices seem to be pointing me toward the "œbrain"�, or "œsalt"� methods for scent control reasons. Either one better than the other? Like easier to get it right, lower scent molecules etc?
- Any good suggestions for other types of clothes or accessories would be appreciated. I"™m trying to keep the fur on the inside for safety reasons.
- Anything creative to do with the small pieces of fur that will most likely be cut from the edges?

Thanks a lot guys & gals,
KP
