Elephant Billfold

[thefanninator]

Just finishing up this Elephant billfold. I purchased the elephant from a guy who was closing up his shop. Great color and texture. The interior is fully lined with black French goat, hand stitched with .45mm Golden Ochre Amy Roke linen thread, edges are creased and painted with Fenice.

That elephant is some beautiful stuff.  I love the looks.  How does it feel in the hand?

Very nice looking wallet.  You did a nice job on it.

Thanks. This piece is soft, I have another piece that's a little rougher and has a little more stiffness to it.

Looks pretty good! I just tried some bison and didn't really care for it. I need to try some other stuff before I consider myself a veg-cow only kinda guy.

I have used elephant ear before, it is soft and was easily overdyed.  You can buy it in the states from exotic leather dealers along with other kinds.  Very nice wallet.
