Homemade plaque
« on: April 06, 2012, 08:47:02 PM »
I got my 2011 Wyoming archery trophies mounted up. I started with a scrap piece of MDF board i had in the garage. I used a sawzall and a dremel too to create knots and some faux wood grain. I them used some left over spray paint from a gun stock to give it an old barnwood look. I used a rag to wipe the paint after each coat for desired effect. I found some rusty old nails my dad had in the drawers of the garage and threw those on too! I only had to purchase some 1.5" flat stock to bend some brackets to hold the mounts. The misc bolts and screws i already had. The entire project took an evening after work. Let me know what you think!

I think it looks great. I love it when a person take time to create something instead of just watching tv.

Very Nice! You look to be pretty artistic. Even more impressive is the pronghorn you killed with your bow. I've been on 3 archery hunts for pronghorn and have come up empty each time. They were all spot and stalk hunts in MT. Time to give WY a try.
