Well I got a customer that brought in an old set of antlers from way back when and wanted them mounted, he also wanted them to be detacahable. So after staining, making them detachable and finding him a cape this is the end result.

Enjoy the pictures

easier to get in and out of doorways and to move around. And this one is going to be shipped, so it will be a lot cheaper for him on shipments.

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

Looks great Joe; hard to believe that those antlers were once white.... so what did the customer think of it?
