Where is the croc going to go?
Encase it in lucite or some durable clear plastic and epoxy the whole thing to the bottom of the pool.
I saw that. it's oak, and I like how it's done. I've seen some pool tables with live edge that are so irregular they look terrible. that strikes a nice balance.
Please tell me you get to keep some of the hide from that bull elephant?
That would make a great pair of boots...for all of the OB!

Damn, what a thread!
The rope/pully driven fans are great
Some answers:
Keeping all 6 panels from Elephant and will use them to do gun cases and furniture...same for Rhino
Fans are an 1876 design that were recently discontinued. The old gentleman that still made the mechanism passed away. They are functional and move a lot of air.
Pool table and shuffleboard are custom design made from 4 different woods .. top layer on both is spalted pecan...other layers alternate wenge, zebra wood and African mahogany. The legs on the shuffleboard are one of a kind.
Still thinking thru Croc mount. Likely full size extending down from ceiling on wall above my desk
Sacking out....busy day here tomorrow. Goal is to shoot a hippo early and hang some baits

Oh yea, I forgot you still have like 5 weeks of hunting..
cant wait to go to bed so when I wake up we will have hippo pics.......and not the kind you would find at 2AM leaving the bar
I think we've found the guy Barnes thinks he is in his head. Holding out judgement until I see what's in the garage.
We went in 2018 which we thought was the trip of a lifetime. Japantiger's trip puts ours to shame... Africa is such a great destination and hopefully the next time I go back it will be to hunt...
Here's our summary... no animals were killed in the making:

Is the guy on the front of the jeep bait?!?
ahh, the pecan makes sense with the spalting. The dark color reminded me of a live oak on the edge. I am working on some base designs for oljock from his Africa Safari earlier this year.
Would you like to borrow this book?
I chose poorly on my career decisions
Has anyone asked... What do you do, japantiger? I think I may be in the wrong industry!
I was wanting to ask myself so glad you did.
I just looked him up on linkedin
"occupation - kills stuff"
"occupation - kills stuff"
I'm pretty sure he's chuck norris but in a scooby doo mask. I'm waiting for tomorrow's update where he tells us he killed the hippo with a roundhouse kick to the face.
Maybe so, maybe not, but you always have the toolbox thread to be remembered for.big ben said:

You know you've made it when your house has a urinal. That's next level.
Best thing I did when we remodeled the house.

This thread is nothing short of amazing. I'm so happy Japantiger is able to make this trip happen, and we are able to follow along in somewhat real time. Catching up on updates of this adventure has been the highlight of my day since this thing started. It's going to be a tough day when it is wrapped up. Staff will have to stickey this to make it easier to get updates on mounts.
Internet not as good here. Tried to upload some more photos and they just won't go. Will try to sort out details tonight.
Happy to watch away Aggie games with anyone that wants to come over...

We're in Bee Cave; SW of the people's republic of Austin.
Just east of you in Barton creek. Send a note when you get back and we will have a braai My neighbor owns a large farm adjoining Kruger and is on the African National Parks board. There are several Africa hunters in the hood. We will get a good fire going and pass the Amarula.
Happy to do it...but I can't get my wife to come if you don't have Six Dogs Gin
How early is too early to show up? First away game is Arky, but i'm thinking the Monday after Miami we could start the pregame festivities. Looking forward to meeting everyone there.
In! A short 15 minute drive from Drip.
Seriously this is absolutely the most incredible thread. Well done japantiger! Looking forward to each day's update like it's Christmas.
