You could contact Karl at LegendaryLeatherwork and find out if he can make something for you. He also has a YouTube channel you can check out, here's a link to a video showing him starting to make a beaver tail wallet for me. https://youtu.be/2v2F3wLtiQc

Grit Guy does dandy work on them..

Randy Shuff in Idaho does that work. Tans his own tails too.

Another vote for Grit Guy. I have had one of his wallets going on 10 years and it will last another 10 for sure.
Zim Actually, I should order an extra now just so I never have to worry about another one............EVER.

I wonder if he still has any for sale what with the problem getting tails dressed these days.

Thanks for all the great words on my behalf, appreciate them all.
I have been searching for a new tanner, but as of today still have not found one economical enough to continue making wallets for the price I have been charging.
Seems with the demand of the tails for work, not only has the raw price moved up the fees for tanning them have really gone into orbit.
I don't tan my own, but use a tanner that knows the correct way to make them last, they are there but I guess don't care to do them as much as other pelts and such due to small nature of them and hands on work they need for a final product.
I sold all my tanning equipment years ago as it was more economical to buy them raw from other's here and in my own state. So that I could feature a great product for people who want one at a decent price.
Right now I am almost out of large enough tails to do a cover with out a seam in them, but will have to see about creating a nice wallet with a seam in the future as I just don't feel good about raising my prices so much that leaves the customer wanting instead of having !
Again thanks so much for all the kind words on my work, this is what sells the wallets and belts I make it's a hobby for me not a life support thing as well !!
