Brought some fur to sleepy creek - 09/29/21 01:48 AM
Took a drive and dropped off some beaver, fox, otter, coon, possum, and coyotes. I put a rush on some of the order. They said the fur would be done in 5 weeks. The rest of the order will be ready in about 5 months. Great customer service and friendly. The fur 8n their show room looked amazing. Cant wait to pick up my fur.

You won't be disappointed. Great outfit! I'm super surprised that some of the other tanneries don't lose more business to SC with some of the complaining I often see.

After hearing many good things about Sleepy Creek, I gave them a try with some lynx, wolf, fox, mink, and muskrat. The fur side was absolutely beautiful. However, I was less than impressed with the leather. Many holes and some quite large. I have never had that problem before at other tanneries. I don't know maybe they were in a rush or are not familiar with lynx or I got a trainee. They will be fine for wall hangers, but a lot of the fur I get tanned is used for sewing and the big holes will be hard to work with.
This is just my one time experience, but I am quite hesitant to send them anything else.
