Custom Tanning for Hunters

Custom Tanning for Hunters

I use the method of bark tanning, which is a traditional method of hide tanning using all natural materials (tree bark, salt, olive oil, egg yolks), plus time, plus a lot of hand work. The result is a lovely soft leather or fur that is more durable and lasts longer than a chemically tanned hide.

Your hide will become a rug or fur that tells a story, or a custom-made piece of leather that can be used for custom-made leather crafts (wallets, belts, shoes, etc).

I can tan most big and small game animals. If in doubt, ask! Prices range from $200 to $1,000, depending on size and type of animal. (I am not currently able to tan cow or bison hides.)

Please submit an inquiry for more accurate pricing and timeline.

Custom tanning is a great way to honor and remember your hunt, and you’ll come away with a beautiful and meaningful rug, fur, or leather.
