TESTIMONIALS

They are GORGEOUS. The best we’ve ever had. I can truly see how it’s a partnership between the tannery and farmer. All the years of hard work we’ve done to get the color, size, texture, and shape (mostly burr free) and your work makes all of that truly beautiful and a high end product we can be really proud to share. Thank you. The skill in your craft is so appreciated.

In today’s world of throw away items it’s refreshing to experience the craftsmanship and care lovingly put into an item that respects the animal and farmer. Our sheepskin adds comfort and aesthetics to a handmade chair that graces our living room. When we find the time to build another chair we’ll be purchasing another.

Excellent craftsmanship and the best customer service. The hides always come out beautifully tanned with the wool qualities intact.
The fact that the team does this without toxic chemicals is a testament to their hard work and care for the environment.
