Frontier Hide Works We make custom fur hats, mittens and more from authentic furs and leather. Various styles and furs available! https://footesfurcreations.etsy.com

We are a father (Chris) and son (Connor, 9) team from southwest Michigan who loves to do all things outdoors. Being creative together and sharing my passion of hunting/trapping with my son has been incredible! About four years ago we started trapping on our property and as beginner homesteaders we would try our best to make use of every part of any plant or animal we harvested. When trapping was b

ecoming quite successful for us, we decided to start making the classic Daniel Boone style coon hat. From there we have enjoyed the process so much and got many comments on our hats that we expanded our hat styles and fur selections. While we are still learning to do our own leathering, we are excited to share our passion for these amazing animals and their unique qualities. We hope you enjoy every hand-made piece you receive as much as we enjoy making them!

We picked these up at the show today 🤘🏼Super pumped, amazed how sharp they are. We are going to try and use them this coming season on a deer.
Tri-color obsidian and synthetic opal all of them have antler handles and tied with sinew. Made by Ed Mosher a long time knapper.
We also have a plan to go spend a day with him over the summer to learn more about knapping 🤘🏼
Nothing like old school amazing skills!

Join us out at the Kalamazoo Living History show this weekend at the Expo center and enter for your chance to win a racc**n Crockett hat. We thought it fitting to give away a hat that has some serious history behind it.
We will also have some videos going about the history of the fur trade and some coloring pages for the kids (or adults that like to color).
Hope to see you there 🤘🏼

Connor was rocking the skunk outfit today! Lots of stripes 🤘🏼
Luckily all the smell is removed and these are fully cleaned before we use them.

Beaver tail wallets are now a thing! I really like how these came out. But I need some input from you. How much would you pay for one of these?
I am having a hard time with pricing. I’ve seen them anywhere between $50 and $300!
Be honest how much?
