Tiara Report post Posted June 15, 2015 how long? specifically that part of the lower tail or all the hornback? http://www.allexoticleather.com/category-s/37.htm I contacted them once about getting some caiman that wasn't dyed or finished so I could dye myself, was lower priced than shown on the site for the finished stuff. might ask about seconds also. the pic looks like a cool gnarly piece. you might also try http://stores.ebay.com/PARTNERS-LEATHER?_trksid=p2047675.l2563 and contact him about caiman, he might be able to get gator or croc but I've gotten caiman and some other exotic leathers from him, got a really nice price on an unfinished ivory colored ostrich skin a year or so ago. caiman will be shorter but usually a lot cheaper. you may need to click on a listing and then send a message asking if he has anything else to suit your needs. at times on ebay you can find wild caught home tanned gator hornback at a good price that has more of the gnarly look. this guy also gets a lot of gator http://www.ebay.com/usr/boomer2563stanton does it have to be already tanned? from boomer I got some lengths of dried back and tail to soak and pull the scutes out of. you could get a reptile tanning kit and DIY. depending on what you need, I still have at least one length of that dried back and tail left. would have to check to see if it is back or tail portion, was some gnarly stuff. there's another guy on ebay that had some dried hornback at one time but was over priced in my mind. but may be cheaper than commercial. found it http://www.ebay.com/itm/G467-7-43-black-full-Gator-ALLIGATOR-bony-SCUTE-back-with-tail-ARMOR-croc-/390625156535?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5af312ddb7 he's got a store online somewhere and does have some other stuff so you might also try to contact him. might also try springfield leather. they had some hornback, think was caiman at a decent price. been awhile since I looked.

Art Report post Posted June 16, 2015 You might want to get in touch with Jerry Van Amburg at Van Amburg Leathers. Judging by the piece in the pic, that will not be that easy to find, but if anyone can, or can tell you where to get it, Jerry can. Art Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed in Tx Report post Posted June 20, 2015 Ditto on the Jerry Van Amburg recommendation. He usually has a wide variety of colors and sizes and his prices are great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joshrobertson1 Report post Posted August 7, 2015 Give Central Florida Trophy Hunts a call, ask for Mindy. They are a local gator hunting guide service near me, and they also work very close with a tannery here. They should be able to help you out. http://www.gatorhuntingequipment.com/new/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
