Nice mount :thumbsup:
I think it's gorgeous. But I have to be a stick in the mud at the same time. It's a gorgeous skull mount.... but not a European mount. You need to trim the skull down to be an honest European mount. I've been preaching the truth for several years regarding what a Euro mount should look like and darn it's a hard gospel to preach!!
I still like your mount though!

Deadbolt asked what a "trimmed" skull looks like. here's my attemp at posting a pic of one-hope it works.
Don't get me wrong I love your mount, it's very artistic and shows off your trophy nicely.

How did you get that last picture?
what classifies your as a european mount and not mine? from everywhere i have researched mine is still a european mount.
Tom, yours are works of art, keep up the great work.
Very nice! I like it! ;) :thumbsup:
Deadbolt,
That looks great.

Well as someone once described it to me a European mount should look at home in a castle.
Actually this style started in the Black forest area in Germany. The idea is that the skull is cut and mounted on a carved board-it's tradition. Black forest carving has a definate style to it, think of cucko clocks and the like. It's also more at home with smaller antlers like roe buck etc. where the skull is as important as the horns and is enhanced with the carving.
Now we call them European mounts. The modern world has kind of bastardized the term and every skull mount is called a European mount. So everywhere on the 'net it's referred to a Euromount, just because everyone is calling it that doesn't mean it's so.
In my mind it's like calling a California bubbly white wine Champagne it may be similar but it's not the same.
Go ahead and call it what you want to, I still think yours is artistic.

Thanks for all the kind words guys...
Calgary thank you for the history lesson you learn something new everyday! Good deal bud!
