Matt, great tutorial, I have several rebuilds to do, nothing like that but enough to make me nervous.

You mentioned you use acrylics, any particular brand.

Great tutorial...I'm just getting started in on taxidermy and dont plan on taking on a repaired antler anytime soon but posts like this really give us newbies a boost in confidence if something like this was to come along.

Are you going to post pictures of the completed mount?

Well, it's not the best pic in the world, but I though I would get a quick one of the finished mount for those that wanted to see it. He's finally all done!

As a new member to the forum and trying to start out in the business I have been following this re build for awhile. I must say it looks great and your step-by-step of the work you did was really helpfull in understanding the whole process.
