Very nice! I'd rather that vest than the tusks personally! Given me something to think about for future hunting adventures.

i touch the tusks daily as i walk by them,they never cease to amaze me. i love the feel of the vest as i wear it.non hunters will never know.

As would I, but knowing me I'd also probably sleep in the vest to!

Can make any case , any size, Any skin or combined skin custom made to the size of your weapon, rifle, handgun or shotgun , IN HOUSE , not sub-contracted out. "Amish Made" by my Neighbor and close friend , very good quality, sheep skin or quilted , thick padded or typical padding thickness and you won't have to take out a mortgage. let me know size and what you want will get you bottomline quote from my guy Andy Troyer.

Having several hides brought back over with my last Safaris shipment.... I want to have @gizmo get creative & have some things made.

Examples of my work. I make these myself and do not outsource them. I have complete control over design and building meaning I build items how YOU want them. All of my work is hand laced with kangaroo lacing which is much stronger and has a higher stretch rate than cattle leather laces and is much prettier than stitching from a leather sewing machine.

I can also upholster furniture and build ottomans etc.... in skins.

This is going to get expensive

The backpack!

A bench seat in an old 57 or 58 Chevy Apache out of elephant would be cool. Or any old vehicle for that matter.

One does not rush into designing the nicest "things" made from the nicest hides, I constantly see/read things that I add to current designs and tell myself I'm glad I found that before I had "it" made.
Example: I want to add Black, Brown, "Grizzly" Bear hide/skin to the Backpack in my OP since the backpack is meant to be made of "bascially" every DG.

Got to messing around in the leather shop today and whipped up a couple of slides from a Cape buffalo hide one of our members kindly provided me. I haven't got to build to many things out of exotic hide, but I find it fun to work with. There is a lot of this hide left, so I'm going to see what else I can whittle out of it.

I make those and if using your hide then the cost wont be much at all. Give me a shout if you'd like me to quote you some cases.

Erik,i have a ruger lippy 22 lr bear cat with bird head grip.i dont have any elephant hide left,can you make me a holster in brown elephant hide?
