You could contact Karl at LegendaryLeatherwork and find out if he can make something for you.

He also has a YouTube channel you can check out, here's a link to a video showing him starting to make a beaver tail wallet for me. https://youtu.be/2v2F3wLtiQc

Grit Guy does dandy work on them..

Another vote for Grit Guy. I have had one of his wallets going on 10 years and it will last another 10 for sure.

I wonder if he still has any for sale what with the problem getting tails dressed these days.

Can't remember who made mine, sent my tails to Canada about ten years ago and had it made.
It's the most durable wallet I've ever owned

Remind me who is that other Minn. trapper that always comments that ; "your wallet never sees the light of day, from your hip pocket"
So no wonder that they never wear out... smile

Thanks for all the great words on my behalf, appreciate them all.

I have been searching for a new tanner, but as of today still have not found one economical enough to continue making wallets for the price I have been charging.

Seems with the demand of the tails for work, not only has the raw price moved up the fees for tanning them have really gone into orbit.

I don't tan my own, but use a tanner that knows the correct way to make them last, they are there but I guess don't care to do them as much as other pelts and such due to small nature of them and hands on work they need for a final product.

I sold all my tanning equipment years ago as it was more economical to buy them raw from other's here and in my own state. So that I could feature a great product for people who want one at a decent price.

Right now I am almost out of large enough tails to do a cover with out a seam in them, but will have to see about creating a nice wallet with a seam in the future as I just don't feel good about raising my prices so much that leaves the customer wanting instead of having !

Again thanks so much for all the kind words on my work, this is what sells the wallets and belts I make it's a hobby for me not a
life support thing as well !!
