Folks, I have two aborigional spears (rather long) that I want to display but don't quite know how to go about it. Does anyone have some pictures of spears they have mounted? ------------------------------ A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!" | ||

i've got them 2 ways, one is hanging on a fireplace mantel, and the other is a pair crossed in front of a pedestal mounted waterbuck/hartabest combo | |||

Thanks Butchloc, don't have a photo of the crossed pair do you? Mine are pretty long and I tried to cross them behind my water buff mount but I may have to cut one in half and make a bracket to make them sit flat. ------------------------------ A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin.

I would try mounting them with the outer spear set out from the wall and see if you can live with it. I would think the display would be ruined if one spear was cut in half, JMO. Please post some photos when you can. Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure.

This is the best display of spears i have ever seen in my life. I know you've only got 2 but you may have some other things that would go along with them like in this one. This is Karen Blixen's house in Denmark.  | |||

the spears are about 6' long, but by the time you add the height of the pedestal to the height of the hartabeast and waterbuck there isn't much difference. i think it would be quite hard to do it on a wall mount | |||

That looks great BaxterB JBrown, what I'm thinking is to get a square of wood (ply) and route a cross through it. One spear will be whole and sit in a groove, the other will be cut. This way they'll sit flat. Then they will be centered behind the mount. I don't really want to cut one but just crossing them over just doesn't work as they don't sit well. ------------------------------ A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin.

Bakes. I also have some aboriginal spears (4) and have been struggling to come up with a way to display them. Mine are all about 2 m long and my dad collected them from the Western desert in the 70's. I have also got some throwers , boomerangs and shields that he collected at the same time and ideally I want to display them all together but can't seem to get it to work. I do like that picture of the mounts in the post. Let me know how your works out. I am not keen to cut mine. Best Steve | |||
