Cape Buffalo leather

[Singleshot87]

Hey I was wanting to get a pair of custom Cape buffalo boots made in a grey safari color, was hoping to find a corse, high grain gnarly piece of leather like shrunken bull shoulder with lots of texture . I’m wondering where I could source enough leather to make one pair of cowboy boots?

Check with Jerry VanAmburg. I have bought Cape Buffalo from him before.

Lol….Good point, Definitely have enough safari calibers to do so, all single shot of course. But at my age I think my African days are behind me.

I hear you, all Ruger No1s in the gun vault. I'm on the same boat as you. Same scenario. I tried in vain to get a pair of cowboy boots made out of my cape buffalo hide but no luck whatsoever. So I had a couple hunting rifle cases made with sheepskin fleece lining and kudu accents as heirlooms for my sons.
