I was looking for a way to mount an antelope I had taken a couple of seasons back. I wanted something different from the normal base/pedestal/plaque. So I came up with this from a thick piece of maple I had laying around.


The idea beeing to prop up skull somewhat. Here it is with black and red transtint and poly finish

Here with european mount in place

Looks great !

Here it is in its final resting place at work

I already have a couple of ideas on improving. Like joining a dark wood with a slightly smaller and  liter wood and routing the slightly bigger bottom and rounding the top

Any other ideas to improve?

Looks great man. I like the angle.

Looks good!

looks really good. Great Job.

Looks nice!

Nice!!!

I have something like that on a couple of chamois skull mounts. They look so much better tipped up like that.

Nice work.

Thanks guys like I said its a prototype and I have a few new ideas to improve. But much happier than with the ones that stick well out from the wall.

Looks real nice man!

Nice!

Nice! I like it.

  Curious, how thick is the wood at the thickest point? That looks like a pretty hefty chunk of Maple.

Tks. Pat

Love it, looks great!

Great mount! Did you get it scored???
