MLindsayRe: My Trophy Room
Thanks, each of you. The Lord Derby had some hair slip, so Mike Baird saved it by using the pedestal top as a mud bath. The light colors on him are mud, doesn't look bad at all in person. The Derby problem was my fault, it was a self-guided hunt and the skinner I hired did not thin the hide enough, per my instructions. However the temperature was over 110 at 4:00 p.m. when I shot him!
Bakes the blonde bear has no slippage at all, the hair is ruffled because my little girls hugs and rubs on it all the time.

MLindsayHello Joe,
Another nephew just called and said the pictures look fine to him, must be the computer I'm on. B&B did all of the African animals and some of the others. Mike Baird is going to build a short pedestal with a tall tree for the giraffe to be feeding out of.
Thanks,
Mike

McCrayLooks good to me! Great room and animals. Especially the bongo.
Two questions, How are you going to have your giraffe done? And, did B&B do most of the mounts?
Thanks for sharing,
Joe

SevensSomeone has certainly been around the world. Is that a Lord Derby's eland in the first pic? Fantastic trophy room. I love the lay out of the room.
