| What to do with a female Nyala skin? | Login/Join |
One of Us |
A taxidermist buddy of mine gave me a full body Female Nyala skin because he said he couldn't use it (No hair slipping anywhere, so I dont know what was wrong with it). I was thinking of making a stool or chair or something, but I'm not exactly a handy man. Do you guys have any ideas on what to do with it? Thanks!

Soft enough to make a pillow cover. We seldom get to choose But I've seen them go both ways And I would rather go out in a blaze of glory Than to slowly rot away! | |||

have it tanned to leather, a nice colour of any sorts. then buy old antique looking chair with previous leather on it. remove leather and replace with nyala skin - soft as a babies bum and some cold glue and a staple gun will get you far enough. | |||

If it's a full skin (intact head, legs, feet) you can sell it to a Taxidermist. That would be no problem.

It should make a beautiful rug. | |||

Probably the best usage of it would be for a taxidermist to incorporate it into a diorama for one of Africa's predators. Perhaps lifesize mounted in between the jaws of a crocodile, or in a tree after being nabbed by a leopard let's say. It doesn't really work for much else in my mind, and whenever I'm at that crossroad such as this, the safest outcome is to just turn it into a bait animal or the victim of one of Africa's predators. | |||

it think it would be great in a small diorama with a nice bull | |||

Thanks guys, for what ever reason I do not think it can get mounted because the Taxidermist gave it to me. It will most likely become a chair/pillow or a flat rug at this point. Thanks for your help!

I have one and had a Bushman stick drawing made on the inside and use it as a wall hanging with the loose fringe falling around to show the color. I don't know if that makes sense but it is a nice addition to the taxidermy work in my office. | |||
