ohfisherman 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2009 Are there suitable substitutions for a recipe that calls for mink fur strips? Would rabbit work just as well? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tidewaterfly 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2009 Depends on what you're doing with it, but it could be substituted. Muskrat strips would be a closer match to mink than rabbit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hairstacker 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2009 If you want to get some mink strips, you can get 'em here: http://www.stoneriveroutfitters.com/cgi-bi...p;preadd=action I have no connection with this vendor, just knew that they sold them. They put out a really nice catalogue too, by the way. -- Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rockworm 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2009 Check out eBay. I bought several "vintage" mink skins last year for less than $4.00 each. By the way, mink fur is much much shorter than rabbit. Shorter than muskrat and beaver too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
