Elephant? Looks like that grain.

[MudBugjr]

Yes Sir that's what it is.

I knew working 5 years in a boot store would pay off some day. Can you get elephant now? I always heard it is a super tough hide and wears well but that it was not imported any longer.

Not sure guy said he had elephant and shark only two he had besides regular leather. Guy makes very nice holsters. Trying to get him on the boards here.

My son did lights for a local theater production recently. I noticed that one of the cast members had brown elephant Tony Lama boots as part of his costume. Someone had donated them a bunch of clothes and those were in there. Looked almost new.

I have a pair of Nocona shark skin. I really love the grain of those. One thing that would be nice that we used to carry in boots is stingray. It is TOUGH but still plyable.

Hopefully you can get him on here. The more the merrier.

Good looking piece of leatherwork there! Thanks for sharing.

I'd bet it was tough going getting those stitch holes in the elephant hide.

That's is a great looking holster. Very good work!

He does very nice work I won't mention his name since he isn't a member on the board so I don't look like I am promoting him on here. Made in Tn though like to deal with local businesses. Very fast turn around on it too.

RussellMade? If so he does really nice work. 

[Grand Torino]

That's a good lookin' piece of craftsmanship right there.

I shudder to think what that piece of leather cost you but the end results were and are sure worth the expense and effort. Nice job.

[MudBugjr]

Thanks and yes Russell Made. It wasn't very expensive compared to other holster makers I've seen.
