Looking for recommendations on where to get my bear hide tanned.

I have skinned out my bear rug style but haven't turned the lips or skinned the paws yet. I was originally looking for a taxidermist to skin the paws and turn the lip then tan it for me ....just a nice soft tan. I don't want a rug made so have decided to cut the paws off and head and just have a nice fur piece.

Anyone no a good reputable tanner in the Edmonton area?

Thanks,
Mike

I got one done at western fur tannery last year, turned out ok.

starkys taxidermy ended up saying he coulda done it cheaper after I had already dropped I off at western fur

mine was the same way lips not turned or paws done

Starky's did mine. Did a pretty good job. I think he charges about $50 per foot if I remember correctly. Dropped it off in May and got it back I think in November.

After my son had problems with Halfords a year ago we will never use them again.

Ya i just have the tanned hide hanging on my wall. He charged extra for doing the head and paws for me but im pretty sure it was around $50/ft for the tanning.
