I just got my buck's skull back from the "cleaners" and mounted it to a walnut arrowhead plaque. I've very pleased with how it turned out, both with the skull and with the plaque. A fella by the name of Kenny Latchford makes the plaques, says he makes 6-800 a year. If anyone is interested in this type of plaque they should give him a yell - he makes a great looking plaque and he's VERY reasonable to boot. I'm proud to have that ol' rascal looking over my shoulder in my "doghouse". (BTW, this is the buck in my avatar.)

Cool stuff! I really like those European mounts.
great mount...ill be making 3 of them this coming week...6pt, 8pt, anda 10pt...
Looks great. I can't wait to get mine back from this year's buck. Euro mounts are classy looking.
Contact info for Kenny?
Kenny's e-mail address is joeyarcher2002@yahoo.com - be sure to mention that you got his contact info from me!
Fellas, it looks like Kenny just joined up here with Tradgang last night!
Big Al, the mount looks great. Who are your "cleaners"?

Correct! :thumbsup:
A local fella here in WV did it for me, kind of a cottage industry for him. From what I understand, Kenny's big thing is he does his skull cleaning with beetles. My skull was boiled.
Looks great...!
Not that the deer isn't nice but I really like the display plaque too.
Nice :thumbsup:
Looks good - I should be getting mine back in a few weeks too. :D

Al,
That is really VERY VERY nice! The Euro mount has always appealed to me far more than live reproduction mounts do. Probably because while I was growing up my grandfather,father and uncles could never afford the body style mounts and so the walls of their barns were filled with Euro style mounts. Never anything quite as nice as now a days though.
