kind of strange question

Does anyone know of a person or place in the greater Boston area that will tan leather? A friend of mine's family hunts, and they always throw the deer skins away, which seems like such a terrible waste...

I mostly do rawhide and we salt the skins if we can't get around to them. It dries them out so you can soak them later and then finish the drum. I don't know what salt would do. The ony person that I know of that tans is Chas Terry in Wilton NH. He was the one you processed the other mooose from the hunt two years ago.
