Look lovely in your home too. I made a stand a little like this last year out of an old shop weigh and some solder wire , it's nice but not as nice. I think I will make some wood stands my self. thanks Bobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks OK to Me, but I would replace the wall hangings with fossils, because there are not enough fossils in the view!. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

It's an excellent recommendation; but given the heirloom status (from the wife's family) of the wall hangings... well, not even snolly is reckless enough to attempt that switch. However, there are a couple more fossils in the room. Out of sight to the right of the photo above is a coffee table. Resting there atop a vintage cigar box are a group of ocean worn Megs. For scale the orange spotted one is just over 5". Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, also are remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. - Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your stand does an excellent job of showing off that blade. The choice of the weight is a great example of use of a novel object for display.

I think the stands add that touch of class to your collection. Looking forward to see more of you display ideas. That blade was given to me by my wife at Christmas. She got it off an old lady she knows who .was an archaeologist in the 60s and 70s. When you look at the base of the blade with a loupe you can see fossilised glue and fibres. cheers Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bone guy Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Those stands are beautiful! They came out well. The wood finish makes the fossils pop. You've inspired me...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
