I'm sure this information is available somewhere here on The Lounge, but I used the search feature, read through some threads, and didn't find a clear-cut answer.
Generally speaking, what are the advantages of beaver felt over rabbit felt? Is it simply an aesthetic matter, i.e. it's softer and looks and feels better? Or is it a practical matter, i.e. more durable and more water resistant? Or a combination of both?
Generally speaking, beaver fur fibers felt tighter than rabbit due to the physical structure of the fur fiber. They have more "barbs" so they lock together tighter, making the resulting felt more durable & water resistant....
