Eland hide suggestions please

[JimT]

I have an eland hide coming next month and am looking for ideas of what to have made with it. I had my Buffalo hide made into many items and would like to do the same with the eland. Suggestions of what and who will work with the hide? Thanks

That's a lot of geography to work with! Keep us posted!

Hair on or off?

I’m not sure about what the OP has.

But I have one with hair on sitting in my office and wondering what to do with.

Hair off. Just hopefully some nice leather to do something nice with.

Mine is hair on and it resides along with a sable on the floor as area rugs in my hunting cabin.

I had gun sleeves made
From an eland hide. Beautiful leather, perfect for that sort of application.

Put a zebra skin on it.

We upholstered the kitchen chairs with hair off eland leather, My wife has two back pack style purses from the same leather. Had a couple wallets made. (Have a very good leather worker locally). have a little bit left. My wife shot a eland last year that the back skin is being made into leather , currently with the taxidermist.
