Rhino skin pouches.
Apr 23^rd, 2012, 2:13pm

I was cruising around my usual scavenging spots when i found some great cord and Rhino skin.

I paid R84 ($14) for everything. I think i can cut about 20 of my flat pouches from it.

I am busy with 4 pouch templates. Once i have the exact proportions, a friend will cut it for me out of perspex on a C&C machine.

Then i am going to cut Rhino leather pouches for some kicass slings.

I might also be able to get a hold of some elephant, buffulo and hippo leather.

Cant wait.

Really soft and pliable, but seriously tough. I had to get a good pair of scissors to cut it and even then i could only cut slowly. These is perfect leather for a pouch!!!
