Tumbler media

I would like to tumble dry my deer capes and I am not sure which media is best suited for this practice. Any suggestions will be appreciated, thanks.

Do not use black walnut unless you want a deeper colored deer. Also make sure you keep the tumbler door closed or the cat will get in there and soil the works. I even tried closing the door when the cat was in there....never mind. I don't want to get PETA in an uproar.

I used to get mine from Buckeye Mannikins before McKenzie bought them out. I'm sure they also offer it.

Birds are a different story.
