Chris LozanoWill Great room. Looks like you avoided too many holes in that walnut.
Did you order that double yet??

dawabaClassy, understated and tasteful presentation. The trophies aren't crowded and they're arranged by region. Love the wood and the rugs!

adamhunterWow! That is awesome!!! Wish you had called me, I would have done your build-out at cost just to have had the pleasure of doing something like that.
30+ years experience tells me that perfection hit at .264. Others are adequate but anything before or after is wishful thinking.

safari-lawyerThanks to everyone for the positive comments.
Since I last posted, we've made some more progress. Friday, we took delivery on eland, waterbuck, and cape buff shoulder mounts as well as whitetail and tahr full body mounts. Those have been hung and placed and pics follow.
We've also done some rearranging and I've moved my desk. I also picked up three more antique Persian rugs for a song at an auction three weeks ago. They've been placed as you'll see in the new pics.
The only finishing items at this point are (1) cape buff and two leopards in progress, (2) a TV to mount under the CA Savannah Buff, (3) a couch/loveseat for TV viewing/reading/relaxing, and (4) plantation shutters for the two windows.
The best whitetail to date from my farm:
Tahr from the hardest hunt I've ever done:
Nice detail on the rock:

Reshuffle of some plains game heads:
View toward desk, couch and loveseat to be added in foreground soon:
Opposite side of room, the "deer side":
Stags and whitetails:

bwanamrmVery well done Will! Quite classy! However, looks like you are starting to fill her up rather quickly... does the wife need an office?
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...

And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

AntlersMan, that looks great. The tahr is an impressive mount; and I like the whitetails. If those bucks were killed in AL, then I have some appreciation for how dedicated your hunting career has been.

Will, this is so nicely done, it's almost enough to make me need counsel! If I'm ever down south, I'll have to inquire about your fees (for scotch, that is!)
