The native buffalo is a historic symbol of the American West. Buffalo provided food, shelter, clothing, weapons and utensils for thousands of people in North America.
Absaroka Western Designs and Tannery recreates historical items made from many parts of the Buffalo. You receive tannery direct prices. All items are guaranteed. Our custom tanning process provides us with soft supple buffalo robes to design coats, vests, pillows, and moccasins. Absaroka Tannery can also custom tan your buffalo hides, go to our page link on hide care and preparation for shipping.
Absaroka Western Designs have created buffalo horn spoons and cups, war clubs from the buffalo jawbone, and lamps and table legs from the feet and used the tendons to sew leather clothing. Beautiful traditional designs can be painted on buffalo robes, warrior exploits and women geometric patterns are carefully researched in our extensive library. Each buffalo robe comes with a detailed interpretation of the painting. Refer to our Painted Hides page. Many of our recreations have been used in films, television documentaries and museums. We specialize in early the 1800's Northern Plains culture.
 | Wrap yourself in natures warmest blanket, a winter buffalo robe. The perfect hide to put in front of the fireplace. How about hanging it on the wall? There is only about 45 days in a year when a buffalo produces a high quality coat and where he lives makes all the difference in the quality of fur. We buy buffalo hides from all over the west and sort them by size, length of hair, color and grade. The hides are tanned right here in our custom tannery. Some are tanned into hair on buffalo robes, others are made into leather or rawhide. |
| We offer various sizes and quality. Prices range from as low as $600 to the best of the best at $1200.00. And we offer LIFETIME CLEANING & RECONDITIONING for any buffalo hide or buffalo robe we tan, you pay only the shipping. Contact us to inquire about buffalo leather or rawhide.
A customer writes about her new buffalo robe: Hi. I just received my 1/2 buffalo robe, a Christmas gift from my husband. I was brought to tears when I saw it. This is absolutely gorgeous! I have seen many buffalo robes, but this robe is more beautiful than I've ever seen! It is so "lush" and in perfect shape. I am thrilled to actually own it. Thank you for providing this for me. It will go with me to ceremonies and be worn with great respect and love. |
