Rabbit Skins - what to do with them - Rough Jack??

[farmerdrea]

Hi, all -- have tried to process about 100 rabbit skins that had been taking up room in the freezer when it was time for a beefie to go in. I put them in a brine solution (basically added salt till the water reached saturation point, as suggested by a website I'd found). Left them to soak for a couple of months, as I'd also read it was fine to leave them in the brine indefinitely. When I finally had the time to deal with them, I found that the hair had slipped on nearly all the pelts (rex rabbits, reared to prime pelt age/stage - all about 4-6 months old), or so I thought... none were moulting at the time of their demise). So, I have roughly 100 rabbits SKINS, free of hair. What can I do with the skins? I don't want to waste them. They are still in the brine.

What about trying to make drums with them?
