I am having a hard time finding anything in the search feature is there a pinned topic somewhere with companies that others have used to tan Furs. Buddy and I are planning on tanning all our "first catches" for our own personal displays but also may do some crafts with them.

Can someone point me to where they may be on the forum or suggest some.

I know Moyle and USA Foxx. Anyone point me to some others that have good quality, decent turn around time and a fair price?

Sleep Creek Tannery in Iowa. They have done hundreds of furs for me over the last few years.

Z and L in New Jersey’s. Quality work for considerably less than Moyles charges and if your shipping from New York it’ll be cheaper too. Leo does not have a website. Just give him a call at (718) 272-5190

Thank you all. I've never shipped furs before. What has been your preferred shipping service?

I've sent and got back two different orders from Moyle since April. Maybe you should give them a call. My turn around on both were three months. Very friendly on the phone.

What did you send? I have two orders there since March and haven't got back either yet. Last I heard it should be any day now. From what I understand, if you send a variety of species it can take longer than if you just send one or two species.

I’ll give Z & L another nod. Just got some stuff back in about 35-45 days from shipping. Quality work.

I gotta say as far as I'm concerned, there isn't any better place to do business with. Sleepy Creek is my favorite too.
