Members Kowboyboots Posted January 19, 2009 Members Report Posted January 19, 2009 I remember a good tannery in Riggins, Id many years ago. Are they still in business? I can't find them now. I have 2 elk cow hides shot this morning I want tanned. Any other ideas for someone rather close to Walla Walla, WA (250 miles). Thank you Kathy Quote

Thank you Kathy Kathy, the name Walla Walla conjures up some outback Australian town. We have Wagga Wagga out here! Tony. Quote
Members Kowboyboots Posted January 19, 2009 Author Members Report Posted January 19, 2009 I think there is a Walla Walla in NZ also. It means many waters, but we say its the land you love so much you named it twice! Quote

I'll have to find out what Wagga Wagga ( pronounced Wogga Wogga but most just say Wogga ) means! Thanks, Kath. Quote
Members tonyc1 Posted January 19, 2009 Members Report Posted January 19, 2009 I have found out that Wagga Wagga is the aboriginal word for Place of Many Crows. Tony. Quote
MADMAX22 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 I had heard of a place up here in the bremerton area that packaged meat and tanned hides from your hunting kills but I think they went under. I dont know of any places other then that in my area. Quote
Members ChuckBurrows Posted January 20, 2009 Members Report Posted January 20, 2009 Check with Moscow Hide and Fur & Eidnes Fur - both are in north, Idaho, and both have a website........ Quote
Members Kowboyboots Posted January 20, 2009 Author Members Report Posted January 20, 2009 Thanks Chuck, I did. $17.50 sq ft. Not sure they are worth it where as i can shop on eBay & find one finished for $150. I tanned my own back in the 70's but that was a long time ago an I had a lot more free time. Thanks Kathy Quote
