Beaver Pond Products, a retailer and wholesaler of antlers, furs, and leather, has leased 2,100 square feet of space in a multitenant commercial building at 10733 N. Government Way in Hayden, Idaho.

The company has relocated to Hayden from the Redmond area of central Oregon, says Gordon Wilson, Beaver Pond Products owner.

Last summer, Wilson bought the assets of Eidnes Furs Inc., formerly of St. Maries, Idaho, and has folded that operation into Beaver Pond Products, he says.

Trips to St. Maries, Coeur d’Alene, and Bonners Ferry in the course of the Eidnes Furs acquisition led to his decision to move the Beaver Pond operations to North Idaho, Wilson says.

“We had been traveling to North Idaho,” he says. “I think it’s a great area in a great state. I want to settle in Hayden.”

Beaver Pond buys hides, furs, and antlers, from hunters and trappers through an affiliated company, WG Trading Co., which shares space with Beaver Pond.

“We deal only in natural items off of animals,” he says.

Other than Wilson, the company has one employee, he says.

Beaver Pond has been in business since 1978.

Commercial real estate agents Craig Hunter and Rob Kannapien, both of the Coeur d’Alene–based brokerage Coldwell Banker Commercial Schneidmiller Realty, negotiated the lease.
