Need pic of elk pedestal mount

[KopperBuck]

I want to say it was in the classifieds but I can't find it. I was looking for a picture of the mount that at one point was for sale. On the pedestal there was a cutout of the state of ID, with aspen or birch bark used as the background.

I'm building a saddle rack to hold my grandfather's saddle, and would like to do something like this, but with the state of Oregon.

Any ideas where I might get a stencil for this as well? Thanks!

Im sure you could find a picture of oregon on the internet, print it out , cut out the state and use that as a stencil??

Ya, that'd be the easy way... I thought about that right after I hit enter. Still would like to see the picture. I think I've got a line on some 1x6 old barnwood.

Something kinda like this http://www.plesums.com/wood/other/saddle.html, but I'm not sure I'm sold on the design yet. I thought about going with the log furniture style, but I like the bark in the state cutout, and that wouldn't match the wood used in the rack. Would seem a little off.

MDGrand was the one selling and had the picture, might PM him.

I have a picture of it on my phone. if you want  pic. pm me with your number and I can send it to you. I copied it for ideas as well.

Will do. Thanks.

Sorry for the delay KopperBuck.. Call Albrecht Taxidermy. He outsources his cabinet making to a local guy. He can probably give you the contact information you need to find out how it was done.

I added the White Aspen bark myself. I found a place on the Internet that sells sheets for about 20-30 bucks.

Thanks MD. Will do, it sure turned out beautiful, and great idea on the bark.
