Has anyone used Stern Tanning in Wisconsin? They have been in business for many years and advertise doing tanning for leather products.
Thanks for any comments.

Mary Hilliard-KruegerI am not aware of this company or the product they produce. We use YOST Fur Dressing for our leather making needs. We recently had croc belly skin made into leather, for AR member jdollar, at YOST. Jerry just had shoes and boots made from that leather.
YOST is located in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. 920-743-7162, ask for Elaine.
Kind regards and Happy Holidays,

jdollaras an aside, the bootmaker who made my 2 pairs of shoes/boots said the tanning job was superb( his words). leather was thin enough to work with but not too thin to be fragile- plus it was very soft and pliable. highly recommend YOST.

L. David KeithWe started using Yost years ago and they always did a great job. If I were still in the trade I would have continued to use them.

Rub LineI had the opportunity to tour the YOST facility, years ago now, and found it to be extremely impressive.
