The Alaskan Furrier

Living in Eugene, Oregon, where animals are almost equal to humans, imagine my surprise to see aFurrier while visiting Alaska.

Jess and I walked into the store, and here is this old man, who has been creating clothing, out of fur and pelts, for most of his life.

He had a Beaver Pelt in the store that was the softest thing I have ever felt. He had fox, wolf, beaver and all sorts of creatures.

He even showed us a picture of President Ford wearing one of his coats made out of a wolf hide.

He showed us an Elk Hide and told us that this guy was good with the ladies. How could he tell? Experience. He knows that the cow bite the bull on the neck when they like them. You figure out the rest.

It was funny because Jess and I could not stop listening to the old guys stories. He was trying his best to sell and we were having a great time just listening.

Oh, Jess and I ran into these guys on the streets of Anchorage. Couldn’t resist taking a  picture. And Look who I ran into in the store in Alaska.
