I’m no longer accepting new clients at the moment. I’ll contact those of you who I can take in but at the moment I’m not able to.

If I have made arrangements with you then we are good. If not then please make other arrangements or wait until I have a opening.

Neutralizing capes today. Will have a few spares in the mix. If you need a cape for a client I’ll have a few mince ones soon. I’ll post pictures and videos of capes with a price based on quality and size. I ship on Mondays so the capes aren’t sitting in warehouse over the weekend.

Finally got a day where it wasn’t froze outside. Rehydrated a bunch of capes. Got more ready to go.

Just making sure you all know. At the moment I’m not taking in many new clients. I’ll let you know when we’re ready for more capes. If we talked then we are good.

A solid pickle. Tan. and most of all field care. Is what gives you a soft skin and shinny hair once dried. Epidermis slip can break a mount. Getting capes froze or cooled off quick is a must for quality mounts.

After I mount on a skin I tanned, I brush the hair, blow it some with my air blower, and spritz it with a hair sheen spray with a horse brush. It helps condition the hair and make it feel and look soft.

After hair and skin has dried I brush the hair in different directions to get hair more lofty. Then spritz the hair again with hair sheen and groom the hair with horse brush to rid of any brush strokes in hair.

That went a mile.

I’ve created this page for the select clients that are using our tanning services.

Couple notes.

We use a variety of acids in the pickles. Mostly used are safety acid, Formic acid, and citric acid.

All deer pronghorn goat ram capes are $120 green to wet tan. Any long skins are an additional $10. (If you cape them well past the shoulders then plan on them being extra).

We are a small operation and are currently only taking in select customers. I am looking for a larger more suitable building at the moment. Please bare with me as I try to locate or build a better facility.

Elk capes are $300
Moose are $500
Lifesize bobcat coyote $150
Lifesize deer $400

I will have spare capes for sale in the near future and will post videos and pictures on this page.

I do not dry tan. If I do I send to Prado trading post or moyle mink tannery.
