SIT Stories - Episode 5: Tannery
While your skulls are being processed, the hides/skins undergo the tanning process.
We are proud to tan all trophies at our in-house tannery. This allows us to control the turnaround times and the quality of the skins being mounted.
Our tannery manager, Stephan, heads up a fantastic team that ensures your skins are in the best possible condition for mounting.
We also offer commercial tanning of flat skins and back skins with hair on or to leather.
In this episode, Stephan takes us through the following steps in the process:
• Soaking
• Shaving
• Tanning
• Oiling
The most important aspect is the quality check that take place after each step. This allows us to address any concerns and produce the ideal result for beautiful taxidermy.
If you have any questions about tanning at Splitting Image Taxidermy please contact our sales team on sales@splittingimagetaxidermy.co.za
