Services & Process

Tannery services mean Bloomfield's can process raw hides into soft, preserved leather or hair-on rugs, going beyond what a standard taxidermy studio provides. For hunters, this opens up options like bear rugs, deer hide blankets, and tanned hides suitable for knife sheaths or leather crafts. On the taxidermy side, expect standard trophy mounts including whitetail, turkey, and small game. The combination lets customers bring in an animal and choose exactly how each part gets used, whether as a mount, a rug, or a tanned hide.

Service Area

Bloomfield's Taxidermy and Tannery serves hunters and customers across Seneca County and the surrounding north-central Ohio region. People traveling from Tiffin, Bucyrus, Findlay, and Mansfield have a manageable drive to reach this one-of-a-kind studio in Bloomville.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between taxidermy and tanning a hide?
Taxidermy involves preserving and mounting a skin over a form to recreate the animal's appearance for display. Tanning is a chemical process that turns a raw hide into soft, durable leather or a hair-on rug that can be used, worn, or displayed flat.
Can I get a bear rug made from my Ohio harvest?
Yes, hair-on bear rugs are a popular tannery request, and having both services available at one studio simplifies the process significantly. The finished rug typically includes the head mount if desired, making it a dramatic display piece.
How long does the tanning process take compared to a mount?
Tanning a hide typically takes six to twelve weeks depending on the size of the hide and the method used. A full taxidermy mount often takes longer, sometimes four to twelve months, so the two processes may not be ready at the same time.
What can I do with a tanned deer hide?
Tanned deer hides are used for wall hangings, leather crafting projects, knife sheaths, clothing, and decorative throws. Hair-on hides make attractive rustic decor, while fully tanned smooth hides are practical for leatherwork.
Do I need to do anything special to preserve the hide before bringing it in?
You should cool the hide as quickly as possible after harvest and avoid letting it sit in heat, which causes the hair to slip. Salting the flesh side generously or freezing the hide are both acceptable short-term preservation methods before you can get it to the studio.
Can museums or schools order preserved specimens or hides from a tannery?
Yes, educational institutions and museums sometimes work with taxidermists and tanners to source display specimens or teaching hides. Calling ahead to discuss specific needs and volume is the best approach for institutional orders.
