Title: marble mounts
Post by: burrheadcountry 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.

Post by: burrheadcountry on March 20, 2009, 06:15:13 PM: 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.

Post by: burrheadcountry on March 20, 2009, 07:10:09 PM: 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.

Post by: burrheadcountry on March 20, 2009, 10:21:41 PM: 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.

Post by: HardCorpsHuntr on March 21, 2009, 08:45:02 AM: I like it, great work. How do you attached the two /+ pieces together for the wall mount?
Title: Re: marble mounts
Post by: burrheadcountry on March 21, 2009, 04:37:51 PM: 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.
