Don't Waste That Hide, TAN IT !
If you are a Hunter who has saved his venison but tossed out your hide, PAY ATTENTION. You should be saving your Hides so that you can trade them towards your next WB Place deerskin garment.  Just one hide could produce the leather you need for 2 pair of  gloves, a pistol case, or either a purse or wallet.  See our LTSC program for details. WB Place has provided you with our Step-by Step Guide to help you prepare your hides for processing.



Measurement Instructions
The following is a guide  based on average deerskin being 9-10 square ft.   Many variables can affect square footage such as size and quality of hides, size of garment, and alterations required.  If you supply more than is needed, the unused hide or a credit slip for unused footage will be returned to you.  If you do not send enough, you will be contacted to send another hide or purchase the required footage


(NOTE:  Due to the scale of our production process, we cannot provide special handling of Individual hides. We suggest unusual or prize-winning hides be taken elsewhere)

How to Measure Your Deer
Measure girth around deer just behind front legs.
