You should consider offering soft rifle cases as well, I bet you would do well with them. Personally I think a cape bushbuck soft rifle case would be quite a thing...

I may want some pillows done with elephant leather! Do you have any patterns for elephant?

Would elephant pillows be comfortable?

I have made tons of pillows from elephant over the years. It all depends on the finish of the leather. A smooth tanned elephant leather is very comfortable but a rough tanned leather can be a little scratchy on bare skin.

This pillow is a smooth tanned elephant that is very comfortable.

Thanks for letting me know. Good to know. Elephant pillows do sound nice. Has anyone done a rug?

Ug sorry about the pics not working. I’ll post them off my computer when I get to the office. I have made pillows out of just about everything you can imagine. I can make furniture, rugs, pretty much anything. I’ll include some day packs and gun cases as well.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!
