Fur tumbler
 
I know it’s a long shot but wondering if anyone has a fur tumbler they would part with, or even some plans for building your own

I thought about making one from an old clothes dryer without the heating element, then tumbling with an old pair of shoes or something maybe a couple tennis balls just to soften up tanned fox. Think it would work!

They do work if you can maybe tumble in a bag..because sawdust will leak through if not

Just a suggestion, you could buy a old commercial dryer from a Laundromat. They are much larger and could handle few pelts.

I made one out of a 45gal drum years ago although not big enough to soften tanned hides it fluffs them nice
