Hey, Denny

I bought my buffalo hides here:

No problem with the glue -- never even noticed it. The glue is only a temporary hold, too ... done just to keep the foam from moving while sewing.

And, yes ... I've already recovered the armrests with buffalo. I might have left them with the elk because they looked great, but the bottom halves were done with cream elk and it was a poor match for the cream buffalo (actually called "palomino") and the black elk would've been obvious next to the dark chocolate buffalo. PS - The buffalo looks better, too!
