custom bags from elephant hide?
I just got a couple of panels of brown elephant hide back from the tanners. I just sent a chunk off to Russell's for a pair of boots, and some will likely go off to Murray's for a case for my double. I wanted to have some kind of a bag made for my wife, but JW Hulme is no longer making custom items from game hides. Can anyone suggest other makers that could produce a good quality bag for my wife?

Pretty pricey stuff but they will use your hide:

I had a briefcase made from my cape buffalo hide by Walden & Bork. The workmanship, quality, and customer service were all top notch. Turnaround was about 3 weeks. The only down side is they are a bit pricey, but you do get what you pay for!

Here you go -- great work at reasonable prices:

When you get bored with life, start hunting dangerous game with a handgun.

Oldhandgunhunter,
What a cool website. I did not know about that company but am adding their website to my favorites list!


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

I used Trophy Hides to make a bag out of my leather. They did a great job.

Try Integrity Gunbags. They make great gear from all type of hides.
