I lost three legs in the war.
Very Sad…
Could it be that patrickwinsor847 is also missing a leg? I kinda mis Kadmielrampton and his peg leg. Lets do a show and tell and see who has the nicest wood peg leg. We will call the display peg legs. You got one , lets see it ? I am working on a hallow tapered peg with carbon fiber but need some one missing a leg to test fit.
the mother of invention…
the door has been opened to the peg thread
who would have ever thought?
By the late 19th century, prosthetics vendors would offer peg legs as cheaper alternatives to more intricate life-like artificial legs.[2] Even as vendors touted advantages of more complicated prostheses over simple peg legs,[2] according to a contemporary surgeon, many patients found a peg leg more comfortable for walking.[3] According to medical reports, some amputees were able to adjust to the use of a peg leg so well that they could walk 10, or even 30, miles in one day.[4

WOODEN LEG
actually never lost his leg
but inherited the name from his uncle.
Wooden Leg
Wooden Leg** (Cheyenne Kâhamâxéveóhtáhe)[1][2] (1858–1940) was a Northern Cheyenne warrior who fought against Custer at the Battle of the Little Big Horn.[3]
Wooden Leg was born, in 1858, in the region of the Black Hills, near the Cheyenne river. He was son of Many Bullet Wounds(also called White Buffalo Shaking off the Dust) and Eagle Feather on the Forehead. He had three brothers (the two elder ones being Strong Wind Blowing and Yellow Hair, the younger one Twin) and two sisters (the elder one being Crooked Nose, the younger one Fingers Woman).
During his childhood he was known as Eats from His Hand. Later, he inherited the name Wooden Leg from his uncle, a Crowadopted by the family of Eagle Feather on the Forehead. This young Crow proved to be a tireless walker, outlasting all the young Cheyenne and earning the name Wooden Leg, since his tireless legs seemed to be made of wood. Only his nephew was able to follow him during his endless walks and so the friends of Eats from His Hand began calling him by his uncle’s name in sport. Eventually, Eats from His Hand took his uncle’s name as his own.

Actually I was thinking of a peg leg surfboard display , like surfboard held up by peg leg with a chicken foot base to make it stable enough to hold the board without falling over !
I think this poster is legitimate, obvious links to Kelly Slater, both from Florida and both into furniture eh!

considering my chicken reasearch,
It is my consideed opinion that
a flamingo or kolea* foot would
be a better choice for the stand
base to keep falling over
to a minimun. That said let’s
