Killed this buck back in 07 with my 47# Super Diablo, been hanging in my computer room for 9 yrs. so decided to do something different with it, here's the result..

Nice job
Very cool!
Unique idea.Thanks for sharing. :thumbsup:
Very nice. Any chance we can see the connection from the arrow nock end where the shade attaches? Or is that patent pending top secret?
All you do is cut nock and uni bushing off, then take a dremel tool with cut off wheel and cut shaft down the middle from top to bottom.. insert the short piece of hollow threaded rod(from lamp building kit) by prying shaft open with big screwdriver, drive down in shaft with small hammer leaving enough to attach lamp socket.. do the same to the bottom of shaft where arrow goes into deer skull, drill hole in skull with 25/64 or 27/64 wood bit making sure to not wobble and get it straight up and down..to secure the shaft in skull you can put some 3500# epoxy on shaft and slide into hole or if you got a rally good fit you can use gel super glue and let it run in hole around edges..
if I didn't explain this well enough can take pics but its pretty easy.. you can get the extra threaded rod at Ace hardware, Menards etc..I used a 2216 shaft for lamp post so if you use something different will require different drill bit..
Thanks looks good!
edited my last post with more info. on drill bit size..
I really like it. I've got a mule deer my great Uncle killed probably about 30 to 40yrs ago that will look good like that. I've been wanting to do something with it. Thanks for sharing!
