Hand Carved Table
« on: July 24, 2008, 09:50:42 PM »
This was in one of the markets in Africa. They wanted $5000.00 for it but I was told by the PH he could get them down to $2500.00 if I wanted it!!! I thought WHAT A STEAL!!! Then I tried to figure out how to get it back? What if it gets broke en route to the US? It is hand carved with the Big Five. Both sides of the chairs are carved. It's absolutely Gorgeous!!!

Wow, now that would be quite a conversation piece in a trophy room, especially yours, now that it's gonna be full of all those Africans... :chuckle:

All I see is $$$$. You should have bought it and re sold it in the US for about $15,000 ;)

It's gorgeous, is what it is. I don't know about shipping and risks and import duties, etc. But I'd say that bucklucky's numbers aren't at all unrealistic. It's kinda specialty, I know lots of people who wouldn't like it. But plenty who would too.

It's worth every dime.  The wood in that alone is impressive, and then the carvings.  If you owned an outfitting business that would be a sweet dinner table too.

I wonder what kind of wood it is.  I have one of those hand carved Rhinos (elephants in teh pic) and it is made out of ironwood.  Man it is heavy and cool.

It took well over a year to get my stuff back...one big crate.  Love that table and chairs but my guess is you'd either never see it or it would be broken.  VERY NICE!!
