Why Not A Chair?
I'm trying to figure something else to use a buffalo backskin for. I've got boots, soft gun cases. Why not furniture. Does anyone know a company that could use the skin to make a chair? I'm sitting in one, that if you laid the chair on its side it would more or less look like the number 5. Turn the 5 upside down and you about have it when you are sitting in it. The chair has a leather back, a leather sling seat, and two leather attachments as arm rests. It is pretty comfortable for working at a desk or computer.
I think I saw Saeed with something similar using zebra. I need to use buffalo. Have any of you had a leather chair made from buffalo?

Jerry HuffakerWe have an Upholsterer here Ken that could probably do it for you if you can provide him a picture to go by.

Elephant leather worked really well for the wife and I in my trophy room. Search around in the thrift stores until you find the frame and size you like, then take it to a good upholstery shop.
