Doing Different Things with My Trophies

[Rare Breed]

My walls in my office are covered up in my mounts and oil paintings I have shared with everyone on our great forum. I thought you might want to see two things I did with my Gemsbok I took in August 2023.
1. I took the two horns and had them make me standing lamps...notice the horns and porcupine quill shades.
2. I took the skin and had a beautiful rifle case made.

For once, my wife, the beautiful Mrs. Rare Breed, loved something I brought back from Africa!!!!

I love the creativity. My wife asked if we could use as much of her first buck as possible. She has a great Euro and a tanned hide that we use as a throw over our coffee table in the den.

How did you remedy the fixture problem on the lamps?
Gun case and lamps are great!

I never would have thought to do that with the lamps. That's really sharp. The gun case, obviously, is beautiful.

I went online to Antiqe Lighting and bought two US sockets with cords for $50 total then had my handy man install

I’ll have to remember the gun case… that looks good.

I saw wall sconces similar to your lamps at Africa Sky, that’s definitely a nice touch for your office.
