    Ideas for javelina hides

    My son's and I killed some javelina on a trip in January. I saved the hides and I'm having them tanned. Aside from just laying them out on a table are there some creative ideas you guys may have to make something out of them? Pillows? I'm shoulder mounting one with the hide flared out so we have that base covered. Thanks.

            There was a guy with a ranch near ours that was saving javi hides to make some boots out of. Not sure if he ever did but I wouldn't doubt it. This dude could've been the Dos Equis guy Lol

                I was gonna say either boots or gloves. Best gloves i ever had were pig skin. Dad gave them to me to help him out when i was like 6. I have my own son now at 26, and they have one nail saized hole at the base of the thumb.

                      Funny.

                      You can use the gland on the back as a tee to practice your drives, if you’re a golfer.

                          I believe that they used to be trapped to make gloves out of. The hair made pores that supposedly kept your hands cool.

                              Interesting.

                              And, fyi - for those of you who are saying pig / hog hides make great gloves - that may be so, but javelinas are rodents, not swine.
