  1. This is exactly why I pay my tannery a "rush" fee.  I get all my hides back in 6-8 weeks.  It costs me 40% more, but allows me to have the hide back in my hands a LOT faster.  Once I have the hide I usually contact the customer and finalize the form position and get parts ordered.  This drastically speeds up the mounting process.

    When I started doing Taxidermy work, I decided quality of work and 100% honesty to the customer was going to be my standard.  The honesty part has cost me jobs, but my conscience is always clear!

    No that's high for a tanned cape but if the right person wants it he will get it. It only cost $62.00 to get it tanned.

    Yes, plus the cost to have it fleshed and shipped.  I charge $150 to flesh in my shop.  The recent supply issues has driven the cape costs up drastically.
