Here is a real nice wall pedestal I finished up recently. It is a washington general season whitetail. I really like this form.

Great looking mount. I like the wrinkles on its neck.  :IBCOOL:

Very nice mount overall. You ended up with some great muscle detail in the face. The eyes have a real nice shape. I have a question.... how do you treat the nose pad? I cant really tell if its looks dry or if its just the camera. We started using a coat of Modge Podge to start with then individually dotting the bumps with a couple applications from a little needle we modified. It made all the difference in the world. Also, do use earliners? With or without the cartilage? Love the right ear, not sure about the left one. Might just be the angle. Excellent work over all.  :)
