Mount Ideas?!?!

Post by MO_GSP » Sat Jul 14, 2012 4:58 pm

I have inherited some cool mule deer and whitetail antlers that my grandpa has taken in California, Nevada, and Missouri years ago. They are neat and obviously have sentimental value but mounts were not his thing so they sat in his shop for years. I'm trying to think of some cool ways to mount them. Just want something different than the typical wall mount. Any ideas?

Pedestal mount, they are expensive though. Even a good wall mount will run $700-1000 for a deer.

Shameless plug - I make these out of solid cherry. They are about 11.5 x 18. You can PM me for further info.

Now that is the ticket. Great looking work there.

It is exactly what I was thinking but much nicer.

I was thinking something similar to MTR, but yeah, my mental image wasn't that nice.

Well done bud!

Thank you, they take some work but people sure like them on the wall. It's just different than what others have from the local sporting good store and/or Walmart :)
