Animals, man. Who the hell do those guys think they are? Animals need to be put in their place. And I’m no longer satisfied taking them down a peg with humiliatingly poor taxidermy. Which is why I made this ashtray, so I could grind my cigarettes out on a deer’s hoof. Take that, woodland jackass!
My next project is going to be a filing cabinet made out of alligator skin. But get this: I’m only going to use it to file totally useless papers. POW! In your face, swamp jerk!
Um…oddly enough, this item is EXACTLY as described. Why is it posted here then? I get that it’s an odd item, but doesn’t fit the theme of this blog site.
Just because the site is named “item not as described’ doesn’t indicate that all the items would be exactly that. It’s about funny and weird things put online on freebies sites and online aution sites and the like.
Don’t be so uptight, dude. You’re more uptight than me! ^w^
It isn’t even that odd…. I’ve seen plenty ash trays and similar items made from animal parts… Most of my friends who are in to hunting have something along these lines. Obviously none of you have been exposed to much taxidermy…
If nothing else made you want to quit smoking, this definitely would.
That’s….just not right.
OMG I would never touch that thing…ewww
Why does this person think that item is worth anything, let alone $40?
Why, JoeMama… this is actually inspiring me to pick up smoking.
Yeah. Smoking illicit substances.
Now I know exactly what to get the band Deerhoof as a gift.
Better yet, gift for animal welfare society.
About who does the ashtray-foot thing…there is an antebellum mansion (called Belle Meade) in Nashville, TN that was owned by a family famous for their thoroughbred horses. Part of the tour goes through the men’s smoking room (the den, really, where women weren’t allowed) and in a glass case they have numerous horse hoof ash-trays. When one of their hugely expensive thoroughbreds died they made ashtrays. So…this isn’t such a whacked out thing. Old-fashioned maybe, but not crazy. Now those deer-leg gun holders on the other hand…
Just because other people have done it doesn’t make it less crazy, imo.
40 bucks. HAHAHAHA
Get it…..
Ok, so it’s just me
{snicker}
This would actually go really well with my elephant-foot trashcan.
Number three, the other foot: http://orangecow.org/pythonet/sketches/bodypart.htm
Incidentally, that looks more like an Elk foot than a Deer foot. I mean, elk are technically in the deer family but deer usually refers to Mule Deer or Whitetail Deer in this country. Deer hooves are usually more elongated and pointy on the tips. It’s hard to gauge size in the picture but it also looks fairly large and deer have substantially thinner legs than elk.
I want my $40 back.
I think you’re right. I’m comparing it to my deer hoof wall lamp and it looks totally different.
glad i quit smoking… ick
Only in Maine…
Actually, we have them in Arizona, too. My boyfriend’s grandpa just gave him a matching set. Family heirloom. Apparently, this is a nationwide trend.
A matching set? Four of them! Woah
I’m afraid my dogs would shred it up.
It’s. So. Beautiful!
And somewhere out there is a deer with a peg leg.
I wonder if the deer quit smoking after this was done to it? Just wondering…(lol)
We made one out of our pet pig’s right rear foot.
Such a good pet, we just couldn’t bear to eat him all at once.
Is it a bad thing that my first thought was “That had to come from Northern Michigan”? Anyone who lives here or who has ever seen Escanaba in da Moonlight will understand.
