Just a little hint for you. When stopping to scavenge road kill don't touch any Raptures(Hawks, Eagles and even Owls) Apparently raptures feathers are very protected.
But I do like my Orvis Room.
There was a Orvis shop in Mid Town Manhattan. It look just like a very up scale lodge. When you first opened the door they had the floor covered in river rock, Felt like you were walking up a stream. I would go there and just sit in thier oversized leather chairs. An Orvis room is a good thing !

Mine has dark oak floors, walnut stained trim, and dark forest green walls. Brown leather couch and the walls are adorned with photos, many taken by JayB, of the early paddle-ins.
I also have The Canoeman's wood paddle on my wall.

Still have the tyers bench to build!
