Hi! My name is Christine McHoes and I custom hand make mittens, hats and headbands from furs that my husband, David traps. We live in the "bush" of Alaska. Since we have lived here, David has been trapping every year for marten, beaver, wolverine,coyote, mink, fox and wolf. Just in recent years, we have added fur value by sewing mittens and hats by order.fur2a.jpg - 39191 Bytes

We do get mail delivered twice weekly, so mail can be a place of gathering for the neighbors in Skwentna.
