marble mounts
« on: March 19, 2009, 10:39:03 PM »
These are a few mounts that I have made. The first is a wall mount, second and third are table mounts.







If it's smok'in it's cook'in. If it's black it's done.

Andrew: I made the wall mount for under $20.00 and 2 hours labor. I'm a Tile Setter by trade, so I've had this Idea for years and with my time off I finally built a few.

Firecrotch: My Ex liked it.

What would you charge to make them???  Those are awesome, and would fit almost any decor for the little woman.

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Huntbear: I have only sold one table mount with the square base on EBay for $40.00. Shipping to New Mexico was $19.25. I am currently in Alaska working. So I am not making or selling any at this time. Sorry.

I want to make one for my dad. He shot a 6' 10" cougar this year and is having the skull professionally done by Fidalgo Taxidermy. I think it would look cool on top of one of these mounts. I would have to change the head plate size and shape but that's easy.

I like it, great work.  How do you attached the two /+ pieces together for the wall mount?

HardCorp: I use a two part epoxy, then I use a colored Latex caulk around the base and head plate to clean up the look.


Bucklucky: I'll keep you in mind once I am able to make some more.

OK wanted to remind people to check out the auction for Jesse.  Here are a few more pictures of a mount I made. This is not the one up for auction but its similar.
