pillows from skins
« on: May 23, 2009, 05:44:56 PM »
Has anyone had pillows made from Impala, Kudu, or Gemsbok skins? The wife is thinking they would go well with the leather furniture in the game room.

I've seen several - springbok is very common. My only comment would be that in my experience Gemsbok skins don't wear very well - the hair is almost "quill like" and tends to "give off".

Thanks WL44. That would explain why I haven't seen any Gemsbok skin pillows. The most popular seems to be Springbok, Zebra, and Impala.
