Title: skin tanning - problems with Devonian Products
Post by: shrekfeet on February 04, 2013, 09:08:28 pm

I know i've asked this question before but now that Fenland is out of business and I had such a bad experience and poor quality product back from Devonian what's the other alternatives?

Do you have any idea how much it costs to get a skin tanned, roughly?

Were your animals going away just now or have the skins been salted? I had been wanting to some now but was told they had to be slaughtered by November at the latest? Please let me know if it is not too late as I was really wanting to get Thumper tanned! Thanks

Too late now....not after November.
