Economy Elk Skin – Gold

Economy Elk Skin – Gold. Sizes range from 15 – 20 square feet of 3 – 4oz (1.2 – 1.6mm). Sold by the square foot, we WILL cut.

These full grain, Economy Grade Elk Skins will have some holes (yep, even in the middle), and since these animals roam free in the wild, there will be surface defects; like insect damage, healed cuts, scratches, possibly some drag marks, and perhaps some discoloration and water spots. Although they aren’t the prettiest, the skins are good quality, and would work for many rustic products, especially if you can work around or incorporate the holes. This is an exceptional offer and you’ll be hard pressed to find Elk leather at this price, especially since we’ll CUT it for you!!!

Throughout history Elk has been a staple in America, whether it be for food, shelter, or even tools and utensils. And Elk leather is truly an American classic. Native Americans used Elk for making clothing, armor, shields, artwork, and other necessities. Elk leather combines strength with a luscious suppleness and is very well known for its dexterous nature, and luxurious feel. Unlike some cow leathers, Elk Skin doesn’t tend to stiffen or crack with age, and products made from this leather usually retain their shapes. Incredibly durable and versatile, Elk Skin will hold up to pretty much whatever you can dish out!

Great for lightweight moccasins and chaps, work gloves, all sorts of bags, fringe, home decor items such as pillows and throws, Native American craft and beading projects, and many other craft applications.
