Alaskan Moose Arrives In Time For Thanksgiving

[375 Ruger Fan]

The room is 20 ft x 30 ft. The end wall, with the moose, is 20 ft wide. The side walls are 16 ft tall and the end walls are about 19-20 ft tall. The wainscoting wood panels are about 8 ft tall, so sheetrock, backed by 3/4" plywood goes from 8 ft to the top.

The opposite end of the room has the fireplace and an "African Wall." I hope to one day move the big eland up and have a nice cape buffalo take it's place.

In the photo above, it's a little hard to tell the relative scale of things. The photo below gives a better reference on the scale. It's a big room and needed a big fireplace.

375 Ruger,

That is an awesome display of your memories. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

That fireplace is stunning. What is it made of
Travertine?

I think you should join me for that buffalo hunt in July 2025. You know the place and I would be happy to share the camp with you

It's a cast stone. Basically cement and a fancy mold for each segment. Got it from a place in the Dallas area. The owners are really nice folks and took us for a tour in the "Factory" where they make all sorts of neat looking stuff.

That could happen, pending whatever I find at DSC this year.
