Sorry to hear about your grandfather.

I'm glad to see your making something out of them rather than just getting rid if them. Some people would just toss them. I think I'd do what your doing a find some place to make so stuff.

Are they fur on or not. I make alot of my on Traditional archery stuff to include quivers etc. I have alot of fun doung it though I have a ton to learn. I've considered having my hides sent off and tanned for that reason. I hope you either get some cool stuff made for yourself to pass down to the family or get into making them into stuff yourself.
