Charlie, you need to use BB-code and no HTML - should look something like the example below:

Code Select

Code Select

[img]http://i552.photobucket.com/albums/jj333/chocolatechipcookie/daddy004.jpg[/img]I will not show the picture - you may copy and paste the code instead. I have looked at it of course! Outch! That hurts a bit.

Weired arrangement also, but very unique! The up going wire is a little distracting IMO. Certainly a good conversation piece.
I know others here would have liked to start a fire underneeth. But this can still be done, of course

Charlie,

Was your aunt a compound shooter?? lol

Pop out the original coins and replace with 3R replacements, you'd have some good trading material.

Pretty neat design, have not seen one like it.

I think a lamp made out of wheelie parts should go in my trad man cave.

I wonder if all them bows where some that could not be made to shoot. Man all them good looking bows But on the other hand bear made how many bows a day.

Years ago on e8ay there was a lamp made of three Kodiak Magnum dogleg risers. The bows made a tripod as a base for the lamp. It was neat.

oh-bowhunter · January 03, 2009, 02:58:00 PM

From what I can tell I see two grizzlys and one super mag 48 all the risers have serial numbers

Very cool.I've got one like it minus the lamp part.Here it is.

johnnyrazorhead · January 07, 2009, 10:21:00 PM

Charlie,here's the table lamp I was telling you about.I love this thing as well as my magazine rack but evidently my wife doesn't feel the same way.During the holidays they ended up in my bowroom(man cave) instead of in the family room where I had them and used them.She bought a "new" magazine rack to replace mine and didn't think we needed the table lamp in there.My son and I disagreed so the lamp is back in there.I'm working on the magazine rack.

Make a grown man

Thankfully looks like mostly RH Models

oh-bowhunter · January 07, 2009, 10:44:00 PM

Just like your wife mine has no taste either.LOL Love the table lamp and the magezine rack. Now I gotta find a shade for mine.

Mike Shaw · January 07, 2009, 10:53:00 PM

Hey John..You can send that table lamp to me for safe keeping and make your wife happy...

Great stuff guys
