Antler mount ordering

[rasorbackq]

I have a couple WT antler mounts to do .  How do i know what size to order? Are they sold by the width of the skull cape?

[timwilly]

what are you buying? from where? It's easy to make your own panels and then mold some paper mache
over the skull cap in the desired shape and then cover with some leather.

 Was thinking of purchasing  the foam blocks that antlers are attached to  then filled in abit with bondo then cover  Vans Dykes sells them as well McKenzie.

Just order the rubber skull caps that you tack down over the antlers. They look good and don't take too long

You don't need to order anything. cut out some backing plates to what ever shape you want to screw the antlers to, then a little paper mache, and some leather to finish it off. Screw it ot the plaque. Done deal.

quicker and cheaper to order the skull covers and they look pretty good , never had a complaint 2 or 3 hundred later.

don't order anything all you need is some papermac he and some panels a few screws and some velvet a gold rope and you are done i agree with turkey Jim the more you order the more you have into it the less you make in the end

I'm with Kirk33, order the plastic cover, your customer will be glad you did, its way better looking than the leather or velvet cover, well in my opinion anyway. You still need some of that gold rope. A yard will do at least 3 deer and its like 1 or 2 bucks, but you can get it at about any fabric store too, different colors if you like. And for God sakes use a good wooden panel those cheap kits are trash.

I get 80.00 to mount just the antlers, I have 40 in it and max would be 1.5 hours includeing removeing the skull cap, and if you get lucky you get a free cape with it just in case, one never knows when a customer will butcher one up and you need a replacement that he is willing to pay for.
