Joseph Grieco, Joe’s Taxidermy

“This review may be a bit long, but you need to hear the truth, because the truth will set you free. So, I was a dedicated customer with Carolina Fur Dressing for 40 plus years, and even if I did try another tannery, I always had to have it redone at Carolina Fur Dressing. So, when Carolina Fur Dressing went out of business, I knew I was in trouble, and when Carolina Fur Dressing didn’t recommend a tannery, well what would you think? So, I ventured out to many Tanneries, and the tanning was so horrible, and waited 9 months to boot. It got so bad I stopped taking in deer, or anything that would need tanning for a whole year. I needed to find a tannery I could trust, if I was going to get back to mounting deer, or any tanning. Then I saw this full-page ad in Breakthrough Magazine, QUALITY FUR DRESSING. So, I called around to high quality taxidermist, to get some info on Quality Fur Dressing, and the response was, I never tried them, but I never heard anything bad about them. So, I sent them 5 W/T Deer Capes, that came out of Illinois. When I got them back, a month earlier than quoted, when I saw the box, they came in, it looked too small for all 5 capes, then I opened the box, I thought I died and went to heaven. They were all in there, thinned and neatly folded (WET TAN) absolutely beautiful. Since then I tried their try tan too, the best I have ever seen, and I would say a step above Carolina Fur Dressing. So for all the taxidermists who loved Carolina Fur Dressing, you will love QUALITY FUR DRESSING. Fred Sweisthal, President and Founder cares about every tanning piece that goes out the door, hence, standing by his name QUALITY FUR DRESSING. The best in tanning. Thank You Fred, and your whole team.” GOOGLE 5-star review – April 4, 2025
