cool stuff... I keep this in my office. I think it was the first thing I bought at an antique store. It was a set of three for $25... I struck a deal for the one.

Thanks Mike! It means a lot coming from a pro such as yourself. And thanks for the props on the table. It was custom made by a guy over in Atlanta back around 2000. It's one of my most cherished possessions.
Here's a better shot.

What would a home be without a shrunken head?

Painfully normal. [emoji3]

A beaver chewed log that my dad found at work when I was a child. It's still one of the most unique things I've ever seen.

It's super kool Dale. I have something similar that's not as kool but original, I'll try and remember to take a pix tomorrow

That's really cool, Bushman. Definitely something worth hanging onto. I'll bet it makes for some good conversations when folks see it. How big is that chunk of wood?

As you can see, they've got the tools to do that kind of work.

I included my hand to give a sense of size, and this isn't a particularly big example.

Thanks, fellas! dh66, It's about 15 inches high, around 7 or 8 inches in diameter. It's typical log sized.

This is a set of old industrial steel number stamps I found in Ripley, Mississippi a while back. The characters are 1 1/2" x 1 1/2", and the stamps themselves are 1 3/4" x 1 3/4", and weigh over two pounds a piece. They are too big to be useful, so they have become home decor.

This was in the Rat Rod Forum winner ’s circle for 2013 by fordsnake.
A truly work of “art-deco” !

Wish I had been riding this when I actually made my living on a bike saddle, would have felt much faster and more intimidating than I actually was.
