Hand Carved TR Doors

DawnRoarHand Carved TR Doors
My wife is building another house (I am pretty sure in retaliation for all my hunts) and I am finally getting a chance to do a proper trophy room. Personally I am happiest in a fly camp and really don't want to go through the building process but such are the differences in gender. I will put up some pics of the room once the trim is done but wanted to share a find I made on hand carved doors. Africarve in S. Africa did the below doors and I couldn't be happier with the quality, price and service. My wife who is a non-hunter and her decorator friend are even impressed. Here is a link to their website and shipped by air to Houston they are cheaper than the US front doors to the new home. I highly recommend them.

SevensThose are some awesome looking doors! I notice they don't have handles, are you going to make handles for them out of a horn or warthog tusk?
I look forward to seeing the finished room. How big will it be?

DawnRoarI ordered them without handles or other hardware so my builder could fit it. I was thinking some kind of horn for handles and your suggestion on warthog may be a good choice. thanks

I imagine hippo tusk would work well too.

Looks like Obama might have ordered his doors from page 2 of the Religious Doors page

OldHandgunHunterTruly outstanding!
When you get bored with life, start hunting dangerous game with a handgun.

L. David KeithOne of my friends/PH in Limpopo has similar doors at his lodge. They are really impressive in person. Yours look great! They will really add to your room.

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......
