Man of Eight Bookcase

Man of Eight Bookcase - An age-old hallowed tradition. Fraternities, Oxford, Cambridge, Yale, Harvard. Racing Eights. An Olympic sport, upper class, academic, admired by the priveledged, accessible to the very smart and highly athletic. These long, narrow and fast wooden racers were cut up in sections when retired. Transformed into bookcases they lined fraternities the world over. Oars were painted with crests and races, names and dates, and wall-hung. AM's latest is an exact replica of a late 19th C. prow of a man-of-eight that once cut through the rippling waters of the inland Thames. Measures 18.25" long with a height of 85.25" and a width of 10". You may view a large image here.
