Axis Deer Hides

These gorgeous hides come from Maui Hawaii as part of efforts to make full use of the deer that are harvested in the state’s depredation program – they are not native to the islands and are severely impacting the island’s native ecosystem as there are no natural predators.

We craft tan them with oak bark, mimosa, woodsmoke, egg yolks and olive oil to produce these very beautiful, durable and washable pieces.

Axis deer hides don’t shed their hair and they don’t collect debris, making them excellent for a wide variety of uses. These hides are generally 3′ x 2′ or a little more. We include a photo with each one taken on a slate floor that has 12″ tiles so you can get a feel for the precise size if you so wish.

As with everything we do, we guarantee satisfaction. You can return or exchange for any reason.
