Title: european deer mount: lets see yours!
Post by: WildfireArcher on November 17, 2009, 06:24:04 PM: i just finished doing a european mount on my deer from this year. Was kinda curious on what kind of pedistal or plaque i should put it on. Also wanted to see how mine looks in comparison with yours since it is my first one. Would love to see pictures of your guys euro mounts!
Thanks guys

Post by: WildfireArcher on November 17, 2009, 08:14:55 PM: hey coop2424,
i like that plaque. And what did you put on the skull to make it look so shiny?

Post by: coop2424 on November 17, 2009, 08:29:58 PM: The skull is actually one of the synthetic skulls. I cut it for a traditional mount before I decided I wanted it as a European so I bought one of the kits and had the horns put into it. Then painted it all white and I believe it is a gloss white and that is why it is shiny.

Post by: WildfireArcher on November 17, 2009, 08:53:56 PM: oh ok that makes sense. If i cant ever do a euro with a real skull i might think about what you did. It looks real good

Post by: coop2424 on November 17, 2009, 10:08:58 PM: wastickslinger .... Thank you so much for posting that. I absolutely love that look and I am thinking that is what I want for my next mount. Where did you get the wood stand if you don't mind me asking?

Dad made me a few(one stained dark and one light). I told him he needs to patten it and sell them. I could take orders. :chuckle:

Post by: wastickslinger on November 17, 2009, 10:14:39 PM: I need a bigger buck for that opening though. :chuckle:
Title: Re: european deer mount: lets see yours!
Post by: coop2424 on November 17, 2009, 10:18:33 PM: Your dad does good work I would think he would be able to sell some of them. Yeah a little bigger would fit nicely in that opening...

Post by: js99 on November 23, 2009, 06:01:05 PM: My first BT. Went with the aged barn plank look. Did it by opening up two eye bolts out of the garage and putting a little angle bend on them. wastickslinger your dad did an awesome job, I think I'm gonna ask my dad for some father-son carpentry time and learn to make one similar.

Post by: WAPITIHUNTER on December 06, 2009, 07:32:06 PM: My first one I did it myself. It's my archery buck from this year. Going down to Central Oregon desert this winter to look for a pedestal of sorts to mount it on. Hopefully will find a nice Burl or Burnt snag to put it on.

Post by: Kowsrule30 on December 08, 2009, 12:11:54 PM: How is everyone holding the skull to plaque??? :dunno: I was going to pre-drill and screw mine... Am I thinking correctly????
Title: Re: european deer mount: lets see yours!
Post by: huntmando on December 08, 2009, 03:45:06 PM: Yes that is how you do it. If you look closely you can see the screw on kanoopers.

Post by: elkaholic123 on December 08, 2009, 04:36:42 PM: If you use some bondo and bondo a block of wood in brain cavity then screw thru plaque!
