Gator tanning/purse making

[mr crab]

I finally got a gator tag this year after 8 years of applying. I want to hook up the Mrs. with a purse from the trophy. Just wondering if ya'll could recommend a tanner and or a purse maker. So far I have searched the web and I'm leaning toward ATN in Georgia for the tanning ($350 for a 10 foter) and Houston custom boots for the purse ( $350-$750 with me supplying the tanned hide). The tanning price seems reasonable I guess, but the purse making seems a bit high to me. But this is probably the only chance I'll ever get to make this happen, and certainly don't want to sacrifice quality for price, or risk some jackleg screwing up my hide. TIA
