Antler Replicas
« on: December 09, 2013, 06:41:19 PM »
My antlers were stolen/burned at Aldens taxidermy last week along with my dads. Our capes are fine (not worth anything without the antlers though) but I'm wondering if anyone knows if its possible to make replica antlers from pictures?

Just pictures may be tough, did you get measurements first?

Measurements won't be very close but the rack layout could atleast give you the effect of being yours.There are a few taxidermists that can build racks might have to call around and ask.

He was on taxidermy.net asking for work so hopefully he will be able to help you.I think those two measurements will be the most critical.

Yes, but first I must say how sorry I am to hear of your loss. My son lost his in the same fire/theft. Go on the web.....classic antlers by Klaus. We have already got a quote; however the cost was not affordable for us. $3500 for a 170 class. That was for option 1 (hand sculptured) option 2 is 60% of that cost which is a modified antler option, they find a similar set of antlers and make adjustments them to get as close to they can to your set lessoning the cost of the sculpture. hang in their buddy at some point something good will come your way.
