Beaver Semi-aquatic builder of dams and certainly one of Canada's favorite animal icons! Natural beaver has very long, lustrous hair, but sheared beaver is also a favorite with designers who create elaborate, surface effects of varying color and pattern.
We offer a variety of sizes and grades of beaver skins. The larger the size, the higher the price. The better the grade, the higher the price. These are tanned skins. The beaver skins do not have tails. If you are trying to make something with the beaver skins (like a blanket or throw or pillows), please keep in mind that the useable size will be smaller than the maximum dimensions. Please do not hesitate to ask for help with measurements if needed.
The fashion quality skins are the best quality available. They have excellent hair coverage and no significant imperfections. These skins are large to extra large. We hand pick these for the best quality.
If you are looking for a wonderfully comfortable rug to put your feet on while working at your desk, try a sheared beaver skin. Sheared beaver has a truly decadent feel to it. All of the long guard hairs have been removed and only the dense underfur remains.
Each skin is slightly different in shape and dimensions. Some are more oval while others are rounder. For example, you could have a skin that is 24" wide and 30" long or 25" wide and 33" long. These are natural products. Dimensions are approximate.
The beaver skins have been machine sheared. They have not been hand-plucked.
The extra large beaver skins are also called "blanket" beaver because of their size.
Price:The demand for the large size down to the small sizes was strong last season and we expect this trend to continue. $200-$450 .
