Fur tanning

[pikeslayer22]

Has anyone ever sent in fur to be tanned leather out? Just doing some Lynx and don't really want to flip if I don't need to.

I got three mink done case skinned, fur in. Lynx I wouldn't know. Maybe contact International Fur Dressers......http://www.internationalfur.ca/index.html

If you send fur into get tanned, inside out is the best way, it dries fastest and you never rip it turning.

I agree, but if you wash coyotes I believe should be turned to properly dry the "fur side" of the hide.

Maybe best to not wash them if getting tanned?

I say this as I've done some brain tanning and while I leave marten hide out, I've still finished coyotes fur out and then rehydrate with a warm moist cloth within before turning to hide out for tanning.

Probably not a big deal either way for a commercial tanner. Just for home tanning like to have thoroughly washed.

I'm assuming no reason to wash so can't see any reason to flip. Just my opinion so would confirm with the tannery.

I tan my own and it work better if the skin is out . Don't worry about washing it , that will be done many times in the process
