Yep, Tubari does a very good job of plucking and shearing. They come back like velvet. It adds quite a bit to bill though.

Who is "them"? And how did "them" do?

Yeah Tubari had a great turn around last year for me as well, there plucked and sheared is unbelievable, Zanders had a vest and jacket that Turbari tanned and P&S I couldn't believe it was beaver.

I don't believe USA FOXX does any tanning, let alone plucking and shearing; I'm sure they just send them to Tubari's or somewhere else.

It looks like shearing is another $11, plucking and tanning very according to size. They have a web site.

That's only 1 of 2 price sheets. Go online and use the other one, you'll see what you're cost will be. You will be amazed how they turn out. Like mentioned previously, it doesn't look like beaver, more like really heavy velvet.

You can have them done different lengths from about 5 mm to17mm. They need to be heavy enough to start with

Plucking and shearing beaver is an acquired skill, especially the shearing part. It takes time to get the technique down.

The shearers at Tubari do a fantastic job. The finished product is well worth the extra cost.

Like I said the shearing is another $11 It will be about$50 a head. Depending on size, a few dollars more or a few less. You can add another 25-30 dollars by having them dyed.
