Bull Elk
« on: April 27, 2008, 11:30:59 AM »
Here is yesterdays project.  None of the finnish work has been done on this elk and won't be for atleast 3 weeks.  I like to make sure mounts are good and dry befor returning them.  








Yes the rack does look off but it is the rack.  The left side of the rack was laid back and out to the side.  Here is a photo of the rack.
