Anyone ever make a leather flyswatter?

Here's the heart of it!

I didn’t make it but I have one. Works well.

I just buy the $1 flyswatters. I've never worn one out or broken one. I've lost one or two however. The very first fly swatter ever made - back in the early 1900's - is probably still working just fine, unless it's sitting in a museum somewhere.

Can I get the Mexican version? With the little dingleberries on it? PUH-LEEZ, tell me it's okay...

P.S. No dingleberries on my Mexican sombrero, but it's nearly a yard wide!!!
