Got the tan leather today. It sure looks good. I think I finally found the supplier I have been looking for. I also received an invoice for some smoke leather. It will probably arrive the first of the week. Please let me know Thank you for the great service. When I started offering drum building workshops, I needed to find good quality kits at a reasonable price. Centrailia Fur and Hide provide both. I have been using them exclusively for providing the materials for my workshops for the last few years and expect that to continue into the future.
I also use them for supplying many of the things I need for my custom work. Most importantly, I like to support native run businesses whenever I can. I have been making drums and native art objects for about 20 years. The last 15 I have been buying my material from Fur and Hide. I live in Western WA State and like to support small local businesses.
Fur and Hide has never let me down in quality and customer service. Excellent hides from local sources, and quality products reasonably priced. Keep up the great work providing top quality material and service. I know I can count on them delivering top quality every time. My friends and I purchased drum kits and made them together over this weekend. The video instructions made it very easy to make even for un-crafty souls.
We let them dry overnight with a sweetgrass braid in the inner drum frames. The next day we were able to decorate them with the feathers we purchased from your store. We held a small circle and played them.
All the drums sounded wonderful together. Thank you for making such easy to follow drum kits, and for providing all the sacred herbs for blessing our newly born drums. It was so wonderful to bond in such a meaningful way. I got my first kit from you all around 15 years ago. It has been an amazing journey to this point. I began turning people to you all for your kits for drum birthing workshops that I would lead. The quality of your supplies, the customer service, and the consistency it unprecedented for sure.
In October of I received permission to begin to birth drums on behalf of others and since have purchased supplies for more than 60 drums. He gave them to me and I in turn donated them to a couple of traditional Algonquin Elders who had been looking for Bear grease for their sweat lodge ceremonies. They were thrilled to receive it and, after using it for several months I checked in on them again and they said it was just fine. So there you go! The easiest way to tell if it's starting to go off is by the smell.
Depending on the way it was rendered, fresh Bear fat may already have a slightly smoky, fried smell to almost no scent at all. We use very fresh or fresh to freezer to pot fat and render it in a slow cooker on very low for many hours to avoid that fried smell, and we double filter it to remove any bits and pieces of grissel or flesh. As students of our elders we continue to learn the medicinal use of Bear Grease. As Drum makers we are offering Bear Grease to take care of your drum.
