animal leathers?
I need to reupholster the lid for my new explorer console ( thanks chance) and I need something durable.
since it's also gonna be somewhat of a focal point of the trucks interior, I was considering going with some sort of leather like Ostrich, gator, snake, stingray..etc.
Anyone know a good place to get pelts/ leathers like this? I tried googling and all the results I could get were wallets lol.
Also anyone worked with any of these before? I'm willing to put a few pennies into it but not over the top.

As far as a unique hide, Ostrich does look pretty good. I'm not to crazy about reptiles myself however... (I hear the gator one is popular among the Tallahassee set, though...)
Let me know how it turns out.

you just have to remember what buffalo bill suggests "it puts the lotion on it's skin"
if you don't follow his recommendation, it will dry out, then start to show cracks everywhere
