I'd say given the ban on ivory, the ears would be off limit too. What in the world are you doing Craig?

Just take a little and it will grow back and you can get some more next year!

Elephant leather is available and perfectly legal. Best bet over your way would be to ring around some of the finer boot manufacturers.

Tom,
Great idea! If anyone expected it, it could be explained at the zoo as a pachyderm with a leaning towards Van Gogh!!!

Jeff,
"Standard" elephant leather is too thick for sheath material.
