Headed west for a few weeks of hunting with my dad.

I'll be out of shop and out of range for a bit.

If you need to get ahold of, feel free to leave messages and emails. I'll get back to you when I get back to service.

Thanks!

Side note- I like trips that have scenic p*e breaks.

Pickling prepares the skin to accept the tan as well as a couple of other functions.

Updated Price List for the 2026/2027 Hunting and Trapping Season

We’re excited to announce that our base tanning prices have remained largely unchanged. In fact, process improvements have allowed us to reduce prices on select species and introduce a few small volume discounts. Please contact us for details.

Where prices have increased, it is primarily in services requiring additional products, labor, or processing.

Many of our customers bring us well-cared-for, properly fleshed and dried fur. We didn’t feel it was fair to increase baseline prices across the board to compensate for the additional costs associated with skins that require more work or products.

We’re craftsmen, and we believe in investing in those who want to learn the craft themselves. For customers interested in improving their fleshing and preparation skills, we're happy to discuss techniques, share advice, and explore different tools and equipment. Wanna tan your own? We can help with that too.

If you're interested, feel free to reach out. Availability will depend on our workload and schedule.

While we prefer salt-dried skins, we’re happy to accept air-dried skins as well, provided they are appropriately fleshed.

Finally, to maintain our target turnaround time of under six months, we may occasionally need to pause intake. If and when that becomes necessary, we’ll announce it ahead of time.

Thank you to everyone who continues to trust us with your fur. We appreciate your business and your commitment to the craft.

Good luck this season!

Effective immediately - Bullet Finders Fee

If we hit a bullet, shrapnel, or metal of any kind in the skin during shaving that damages the blade, the cost of the regrind will be added to the customers bill.

Please ensure all skins are free of unwanted metal before bringing them to the tannery.

Carry on, I have a blade to change.

I love the color variations these animals come in. Starting to get excited to fetch some of my own again!
