Setting up an Africana themed Office / Man Cave

[Ontario Hunter]

We have discussed this before…I am starting with 3/4 inch plywood on all four walls then sheetrock so I can hang mounts anywhere without worrying about studs. Probably the most important thing I am doing

You will be losing a lot of floor space. I think 1/2" plywood would be more than enough. I have backed sheetrock and thin paneling with 1/4" plywood and it's plenty strong enough to hold up my mounts. One of the fellas at senior center here in Montana told me yesterday over coffee that he just paid $132 for ONE sheet of 3/4" good-one-side fir plywood. Good grief!

The move and transition have gone wonderfully - thank you. We have made many new friends and look forward to making more.

We had the horse barn converted to a shop, put in a pond, and are starting the trophy room - utilizing some unused rooms upstairs, adding a balcony to handle in ingress/egress of large trophies as well as enjoy the views of the properties and the occasional cigar.

Here's a few pictures of some elephant leg bones I had carved, they should make an interesting accent to the trophy room.View attachment 647756View attachment 647757View attachment 647758View attachment 647759

What a great idea!!!! Would you mind sharing who did the work for you and maybe just a “range” in pricing versus actual amount please?

Most important. Cool peeps to come to your safari room party.

Spectacular & nice to see you and the Boss having some fun with it too!

Very nice to see what everyone does to feel like they are in the outdoors when they are trapped inside!
I'm really just starting my Man Loft. However I have several trophies and a zebra hide that will arrive next year from my safari this year. I can't wait to make user of them in the loft!.

Rare Breed,

The carvings were done through Collett's in Zim. Cost was $300.00 per leg bone. I supplied the leg bones.

Jason,

Very nice. I'm new to Texas and don't know where Temple is, but if you're ever near Bullard - there's plenty of cigars and whiskey available here.

Your actually not too far from me, and I work often in the Tyler area... Sounds great!
