Trade armor work for animal skins

[Ivar]

In trying to prepare for Pennsic, I find myself in need of animal hides (bear, antelope, WOLF, coyote, and caribou). I am willing to make splinted stainless-on-leather legs and arms, knee or elbow cops, shoulders, or any of the above in mild steel. For most bang-for-your-buck trade, the order of prices on hides from most expensive to least is:

Brown bear w/head
Wolf
Black bear w/head
Bear
Coyote
Antelope
Caribou

Email me or post a reply-- armor WILL be finished and shipped before Pennsic.

Not sure if it's considered proper etiquite to BUMP your own message...... sorry. And yes, this is a serious trade offer.

[Galileo]

Sure you can bump your own messages.... That, or sometimes nice (or just plain annoying) people will bump them too...

Then there's me. *bump*

Man, I threw away a box full of hides a few months back...
rabbits, antelope, deer, nutria, coon..and probably a few I don't even remember. My wife just doesn't have the same decorating taste as me !

I still have a large beaver pelt...but I'll never part with that! I have a nutria or two around...but those are a far cry from anything on your list! You could stitch a bunch together and say it was a mangy wolf !?

Arghhh,

It's too bad that when hides are plentiful, orders are not. Winter in snowy climes sees the finest quality pelts, as the animals naturally grow thicker and more lush coats to combat the decreased temperatures. I had several Coyote pelts from this last winter's hunts. No use crying over spilled milk though.

Talath, just so you know, there are very few times that I will NOT trade hides for armor. I would really love a brown bear hide, and I'm willing to wait until someone has one. But whenever you get good hides, let me know.
