Does Anyone Here in Central Texas Area Tan Animal Hides?

[Hoji]

After going through a taxidermist last year for my nilgai hide, I thought I would see if any of y’all in the Central Texas area do this?

I would rather pay a member here to do the work than have my hide shipped to who knows where to be done.

Bumping this to include anyone within 150 miles of Buda, Tx.

I really would rather spend money with someone on the board here if I can.

Buffalo Bill?

I’ve heard he does some nice work I’m not sure if he does animal hides, though…

I'm sure you realize fur on it a bigger deal when tanning hides. Finding a recipe for brain tanned buckskin will give you an Idea on how much work it really is. Fleshing out the inside then scraping fur on the other is tedious work if not mechanized. Use to be a company that you could send your hides to that did it. Not sure if they even exist still.

My backing rugs from Africa are slowly getting tossed out as the fur eventually releases. That's one reason my zebra is on the wall.

Oh, I know, otherwise I would do it myself. Just want to make sure none of our members here are skilled in that art before I begrudgingly go back to the taxidermist.
