who does high end work making briefcases, shooting bags,belts etc. if you have elepahant skin to use. I have some that came in and I will have it tanned. I know some of you guys have done it several times.
thanks

Will on the board here does very nice work. I've purchased a wallet and a sling (in process) from him and they are just lovely.

I'm not sure he does bigger work as you suggest but you can PM him.

I also hint Murray Leather does custom work with your hides but I'm not 100% on that. You could email them on the web.

Have used Walden & Bork, Gerry. http://www.waldenbork.com/

Check out their website and inquire.

Gerry,

We can do some things for you at Hoxleigh. Not the smaller stuff but speed bags, belts, gunslips and day packs etc.

I am just waiting for the next batch of zebra skin.

I should add that the way that the leather is tanned and finished has a big impact on its uses,and the amount of work that needs to go into the item. If you have a chance decide what sort of stuff you want and get your leather tanned and finished to appropriate thicknesses.

They have done a couple of briefcases for me - not cheap, but really great workmanship.

I talked to Dick Murray at DSC and if you have your own elephant leather -- and it is acceptable to him -- you will get a great price on his usually-offered stuff, using your leather.
