If you have your own hide(s), this is the one offering of ours in which we work with you to tan your own harvested hides. If you bring your own, hides need to be provided to us at least two weeks in advance. We'll asses if they are in a good state for tanning. We then customize the five days at your skill level + hide size. (Yes, we can mix some of ours and some of yours, depending on the size of your hide(s).
