Elephant taxidermy ideas for ivory, leather, ears, etc

For pedestals I asked for simple massive cubes of wood, with dimpled caps.

For the feet, like this:

The rest of the skin I do not know for sure yet.
I was thinking of finding a desk similar to @WAB, or an English partner desk and having the top leather insert replaced with my leather.

Another option is having all 8 dining chairs reupholstered.

Also considering having a travel backpack made, as well as some bags for the wife.

Those tusks are magnificent; so much character. Congratulations!

Following along. I will (hopefully) have similar questions soon. I know basically what I want, but I don't know who can do the work.

Leather goods - handbags, wallets, belts, rifle case, easy chair, etc. I would also love a big 5 elephant ear painting.

I'm also having them ship an elephant femur. The thought of freight charges for all of this scares me to death. Someday, perhaps, the import permit will be issued. Go Conservation Force!

Yea, this is what happens if you don't get the work done in Africa...skin panels, ears and ivory air freight.
