grizzlygibbs:
So i got a couple kits from Van Dykes and really enjoyed putting these together, they were so easy, and way better looking than the cheap ones with a "cover" that goes over the antlers! Check em out! I should have done step by step but this is what you get!

bowsandhose:
looks good

They look nice! Is the skull intact or are the antlers removed from the skull/bone?

grizzlygibbs:
The skull is in tact, it is held on by 4 screws and then i paper mache over to match the form.  Then sanded it down after about 12-18 hours of drying  :bash: i should have put the heat dish in front of them!  Then after sanding them, i cut and did a dry fit for the leather.  After the dry fit, apply adhesive, stretch the leather staple it around the back of the form center, and attach the mounts using 4 screws through the walnut plaques... the finished product is what you see, i could have paid a little more attention to detail around the bases of the antlers but overall not a bad piece considering not the average person is going to inspect it.
