Hair-On Tanning | Skull Cleaning

Tanning

We are no longer able to offer leather (hair-off) tanning for our customers.

When you send your furs or hide to us for processing, you will receive top quality work - the same quality used by furriers. Your hides will last a long time, not fall apart in a few years like the cheaper, poor quality processes and "home tan" jobs being offered elsewhere.

All dressing and tanning accepted at owner's risk. WE ONLY ACCEPT TANNING FROM THE OWNER OF THE ITEMS BEING TANNED. Prices are for dressing only and additional charges of $80/hour will be made for additional prep work such as fleshing, turning ears, etc.

Shipping Hides and Skulls
Do not ship green hides (those that are not salted or dried). Wait at least two weeks after salting hides before shipping them. Hides and skulls should be well wrapped (such as double wrapped in heavy garbage bags) to prevent leaking. We recommend shipping skulls frozen by an express service. If your items leak and damage other packages, the Post Office/UPS/FedEx will hold you liable for the damage, or may dispose of your package!

Our address is:
Moscow Hide and Fur, PO Box 8918, 1760 North Polk Ext, Moscow, Idaho 83843

    Hide Information

    We make no guarantee of how fast your shipment will be completed. It usually takes about 8 months to get your hides back.

    You will be billed for your tanning when it is completed. We appreciate prompt payment of tanning bills. After 60 days, we reserve the right to sell any unpaid-for hide to recover the costs of tanning.

    We accept no responsibility for spoilage of undried, unpreserved hides, furs or other items sent to us.

    Shipping charges to return hides to you are extra.
