didnt really look at the finished stuff they made, i was looking more and some of the tanned hides ( some of which are a bit pricey) but some of the claws and such didnt seem to bad, mostly the craft stuff.

  There prices may be a little high for finished stuff...$8000 for a bed-spread!! hdslp srndr... but for us craftsman, there prices seem pretty fair.

For a lot of years I made me living as a fur trapper. (I trapped the wolf in my avatar dntn) I can say that I recieved more money for my raw fur than they are charging for some of there tanned stuff.. $350 for a good (raw skin) bobcat is not uncommon... You can get one from them (tanned) for $130!... yeah I don't suppose you will be getting a giant 40lb Tom with a long, wide, spotted belly... but who needs that when you are making a hat or possibles bag.

 I am a professional leather worker/saddle maker now.  I have several accounts with business and wholesale pricing... I can say that a lot of their leather and supplies are VERY fairly priced.. especially since these are Retail prices... For example.. there Artificial Sinew is $10 for the big spool... Tandy's "Elite" club pricing is still $12... On the hair-on cowhides $125-$175 is a good buy... and what I really liked about this site is that they (I think) show a picture of the item you will recieve... most leather suppliers show a generic picture and you will never know what is going to show up in the big brown truck. I am not sure if that is the case with all the leather that they pictured, but I saw that there skirting leather was less than $5 a foot.. that is a good buy.  It is a great buy if they are sending actual pictured sides (really sucks to get a huge brand right in the middle of you hide),.. I spend between $120-$220 a side for good skirting... so with theres being less than $100 a side... thats is a good buy!


There claws and skulls are also good buys... Mountain Lion Claws!! You don't see these everyday.. and the "Dew-claws" are even harder to get flwa
