Well, Ray, as you may have already guessed, there really is NOTHING that you can do with an Emu hide. really, an Emu is a large chicken with a very strange snake-like head that likes to bite you. That said, it's "hide" is mostly made up of large feathers that are good for almost nothing. The parts of its body not covered with feathers (feet) are covered with a sort-of-leather that may make a nice pair of boots but is probably too tough to make a couch out of (and besides, it would take a LOT of Emu's). By the way, an Emu is smaller than an ostrich and has a smaller "plumage" of tailfeathers in the back. Plus their heads are really freaky what with the snake-like-ness and their like to try and bite you.
That said, mostly you throw an Emu hide in the garbage.
and don't ask me why I capatalized Emu every time I wrote it, it's that whole LSOB (lazy sob) thing that people have been discussing in other posts...I am actually in the middle of writing a paper for an English class so I like to get away from proper spelling, punctuation, etc...)
