Our Services

“Quality over quantity.” -CEO Colt Craig


A $100 shop fee will be applied for additional labor, such as fleshing (beaming), sewing, or extensive brushing. Please do not salt your hide prior to preparation, as this significantly increases processing difficulty and will result in doubled fees.

If you would like to drop off an order, please contact us ahead of time. Let us know what you are bringing and how many, as well as any notes about them. We prefer them frozen, but kept in a fridge or on ice is also acceptable as long as it is for a short time.

To ensure the highest quality results, please skin your animal as promptly as possible and place it on ice or freeze it without delay. Extended time before processing may lead to hair slippage during the tanning process. Please do not salt your piece.

We are always updating our website, so come back soon and see what fun we are up to.
