What to do with a little piece of the Orca?

What was left of the Orca 2 (JAWS) was chopped up about 3 years ago.

Anyway, I recently scored a piece of wood. As some may remember, I've been chasing scraps for a while.

Sitting on it's own it looks like crap. I was trying to come up with something creative to do with it. I could turn down the wood into little shark barrels?

I could make a harpoon? Machine a little brass tip to go on it, etc.

I had always planned to machine some teeth if I was able to get some scrap wood but the wooden proto just looks like; well, a wooden tooth.

Ideas?

If it were me, I'd just make some kind of display for it. Maybe a shadow box with a "Jaws" plaque and a shark's tooth or something.
How big is the piece of the Orca?
 
Small...2" wide by 5" long. Not thick at all. It's just a scrap.

This is one of those things that wouldn't be worth a thing to anyone but me so it's gonna have to become something more than what it is.

Thanks

I'd display it with a sharks tooth and some photos. It's a piece of movie history, so I'd be hesitant to do anything to it. But that's just me.....
 
"A piece of movie history" C'mon now...might be stretching a bit there. :lol

Not that it's NOT technically a part of the film (and a neat little piece), but dontcha think mother nature has done her own modifications at this point?

I actually think that this:

is a GREAT idea! :)

Still just as much a part of history as it was before, only then it'd look cool.

That's rather the idea...

I like the thought of something cool being made from something unsightly. It's still a piece of the boat.

Thanks
 
GOT IT!

I'll get the Movie Maniacs Orca and redo the barrels and perhaps the ship's mast (or whatever that thing is) out of the wood.

:thumbsup

I'd just display the lump with a note saying "We're gonna need a bigger boat" next to it - works on numerous levels :)

Call me this week....oh' and **** off. How's that? :)


Hey Ry,

What if you carve it into the main character of your seconf favorite movie: Free Willy
 
That's not bad! I could get one of those false bottom bottles, too. Ya know, the ones for a ship in the bottle model. It could just have scraps in it with a plaque that reads, "It's eating the boat!"

Crap, now I'm thinking again.
