I have one coming back and am planning to make a table cover out of it and use the 4 giraffe legs as part of the table.

I'm assuming it's tanned? If so, you can have it lined for a rug (floor or wall), make a bed spread out of it (looks great but too warm to sleep under), or use as upholstery material. There's enough to go around. Smiler

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

Mr. Keith you beat me to it. I was going to suggest a bed spread.

You could also use some of it as inserts on a pedestal mount, have a purse made for the wife, or have some gun cases made out of it.

If it is not tanned, you pay another $1,500 to tan it. Smiler
