I think I have nine of these total, and once they’re gone there won’t be any more.
I can answer any questions in this thread

Cool looking! My wife was hoping that the Gemsbok died of natural causes :slight_smile:

As I understand it, these gemsbok voluntarily gave their lives when they found out Gunnar would be making them in to mandolin straps.

Well, humans occur in nature… and as I understand it this particular one met its end at the tip of a natural wooden arrow, shot from a natural wooden bow, and fed an entire village for several weeks.
At least that’s what I like to tell myself :joy:

Just changed all your plural pronouns to the proper singular form to accurately reflect the amount of gemsbok that actually gladly sacrificed themselves for the noble pursuit of strapmaking

So what I hear you saying is that these straps are very limited edition collector’s items. You should raise your price. :laughing:
