Commercial leathers are tanned with trivalent chrome – the main culprit. Tanning can be very toxic (so toxic in fact that there are more tannery EPA Superfund sites than nuclear). We’ve been tanning moose for 20 years and sell them to traditional crafters throughout Alaska, Canada and the lower 48. ![]() This makes it much easier to get those really thick spots soft. What it means is that we smoke our hides before the final oiling and softening. We use what’s known as the ‘pre-smoking’ method on our Moose, a traditional method that was historically used specifically on Moose. We pride ourselves on that…even the humps. That being said, there will be some score marks and holes. Ours are far better than what you will find elsewhere. Last year we found a place in Saskatchewan that does a great job. We go way out of our way to get Moose that are well skinned with a minimum of scores on the flesh side. We do get some thinner ones that could be used for garments, but please notify us if you are looking for this because most aren’t. This is a valuable quality for moccasins (don’t want them to stretch out of shape on you), as well as for beadwork - your hard earned designs retain their shape.īecause of the way we remove the grain, our Moose retain their natural thickness, so they are perfect for moccasins or heavy bags. Our Moose are nice and soft, but Moose are by nature not that stretchy. Moose hide soles will last considerably longer than deer, elk or buffalo. Moose hides have the size and thickness of elk, but with the durable fiber structure of deer, making them ideal for moccasins. ![]() an independent licence-issuer (e.g.100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.converted to another form (e.g., a handcrafted item, such as a piece of art).You don’t need to register or keep a bill of sale if you are buying or selling a hide or antlers that have been: Black bearsīoth residents and people who aren’t residents need a Convention on the International Trade of Endangered Species ( CITES) permit – a document that allows you to export certain species outside the country.ĬITES permit to export wildlife Treated /converted hides and antlers People who aren’t Ontario residents need a Non-Resident Export Permit.
