most sold
Stil have maybe 20-30 not sent away to auction last year but I usually send to Winnipeg. Powdered borax is available from taxidermy supply houses. think I got my last bag at AAA in N E Calgary. if the skins are clean a little goes a long way. I use a fleshing knife (like a dull scraper) slides and scrapes well and unusual unless I screw up for it to cut but I also built a proper fleshing beam many years ago.
I save fine sawdust from bandsaws, table saw and others to sprinkle on hides and it helps fleshing tool to 'flesh' clean and absord excess oils before they run down to tail area and grease burn the exposed fur. Lots of sawdust on that bottom edge helps a lot.
