While we are talking Beaver can someone please tell me the differences between the skins. Someone kindly sent me a full beaver skin which is darkish brown in colour and about 18" long. It has a fairly course long fur. I assume this in an adult beaver skin. I also have a piece of baby beaver fur. The baby beaver is really soft and makes a great dubbing, but I have not used the other one. Would it be used as a hair? Or is it just the under fur that is used??
