    Beaver Fur-The guard hairs have been pulled back to expose the denser shorter underfur. Is all the brown fur discarded and only the white kept? Or, do they keep the white and brown and discard the guard hairs. I don't comprehend what a guard hair is. Any help?

    I recently received a beaver pelt that has air dried but not tanned. Can anyone tell me how to shave the pelt to harvest the fur for use on building a hat for my son?
