I recently killed a medium-sized rattlesnake at work. I'm in the process of tanning the skin so I can make something. I'm thinking something pipe related. Any ideas?

It's a little over four inches in width. I would have loved to do that with the rattles, unfortunately I did not secure it well last night and the mice got to the rattle.
Kill a few more snakes until you have enough to make a snake skin smoker's jacket. That would be fly! 8)
Ooooh I know! It's not pipe related (well sorta is), but you could roll it up real tight over a dowel rod, remove the rod, poke holes in it and you have a..er... a skin flute :mrgreen:
In all seriousness, a deep tobacco pouch would be awesome. Using the widest for the bottom and tapering toward the neck. Air and waterproof to the best of your ability would be of utmost importance. I'm guessing it was just about 3 feet? You could still make a pipe pouch or two with the remainder. I love Papua New Guinea. It is so beautiful. I'm going to visit there a good while before I die. Cheers!!

I agree that the rattle would have made a great tamper, but the mice had it away.
How about a bandolero, so you can carry your pipes with you?
Seriously though, a tobacco pouch or pipe cleaner holder both sound good ideas.
