Custom Tanning

Uber Tanning Company specializes in the tanning of deer, elk, moose, and cowhides into soft, pliable, glove and garment leather. All prices are based on a per hide charge, not by the square foot. Tanning generally takes 3 to 6 months, depending on when the hide is received. The Minnesota firearms season typically begins the first weekend of November, and the turnaround time lengthens quickly from this point.

All Moose, Bison, and Cow hides will be cut in half from neck to tail. We accept ivory color from September 15 to April 1st only.(Cream color is processed once a year in Mid-summer.)

Care of Raw Hides and Skins
Spread the hide or skin out flat, FLESH SIDE UP, and SALT the entire hide with a fine salt as soon as possible. The hide should not be folded or thrown in a pile without being salted as this will cause the hide to heat and spoil. SHIP or DELIVER your skins as soon as possible to avoid spoilage and grain damage.
DO NOT STORE HIDES IN PLASTIC BAGS

Color Choice
Your NAME, ADDRESS, and COLOR CHOICE must be ON and IN the container. This information can be placed in a small plastic bag inside the container, or attached SECURELY to the outside. All hides will be tanned TAN COLOR unless a color choice is sent with the skins. Your color choice may be selected from our COLOR CHART. If the hides or skins are for different owners, tag each individual hide.

Colors Available: We specialize in Palomino, Ivory, Black, and Saddle

Shipping Information
Your SALTED HIDE can be folded into a bundle leaving the hair out; the salt will then be inside of the hide. Place ALL salted hides in a heavy duty plastic garbage bag FOR SHIPPING, then into a cardboard box.

NONE of the carriers appreciate a leaking parcel. Remember -- Do not STORE hides in plastic, but be certain to use them for shipping.

DRIED HIDES should not be folded as this will crack the grain surface. Roll the hide into a cylinder shape and place it in your container.
If you use a shipping service or send the package through work, BE SURE your name is inside the package!!

How to Ship
Your container of hides may be shipped by PREPAID-
UPS...Parcel Post...Bus...Truck
The size of your shipment and rates should determine your method of shipping. Please prepay your shipment. We can no longer accept freight collect shipments. All hides are individually marked upon arrival. They are then salted, cured, and properly stored until they are tanned to insure the best possible leather.

WE DO NOT TAN HIDES OR FURS LEAVING THE HAIR ON.

If you do not place an order for jackets or gloves we will notify you when your hides are tanned with an itemized post card listing charges.
