I should make covid masks out of marten skins-the virus would never get thru the dense fur.

Boco, i'm surprised your marten aren't darker colored. The color isn't much different than Wy marten. Co has darker colors that I've seen, but they are awful light. Bet yours are some heavy buggers! Pretty fur and nice handling! We get a few blacks here every year. These are from a couple years ago,last time I ran the long lines. They come in all 8 colour grades here. The colours dont show accurately in the pics of the skins.

Squash-yes we have some fisher here,but they are not in high numbers like they are in south eastern Ontario. Generally where there are more fisher there are less marten.From talking to oldtimers,they said-years ago-in the 1930's and 40's there were not many marten here,mostly fisher,then the balance changed to almost all marten and very few fisher in the 60's.In the last 10 years or so the fisher are slowly increasing,although so far there has not been a decline in marten because of it.
Bruce,yes at room temps you can turn a marten after a couple hours on the boards.I leave them overnight in a cold room,turn and finish them at room temp,then take them off and comb them,then hang back in the cold room.

Is sable fur thicker and softer than mink...? They look like a neat critter but why are they one of the most primo, probably so per sq inch or cm in their heyday, of furbearers...?
