Yes, any shoulder form can be made into a wall ped. You just have to add a backboard and do some foaming.
I price wall peds at 60% more than a standard shoulder mount.
Here is why, you will have customers see a couple nice wal peds in your shop, then suddenly their buddy's like them too. Here comes the rush and wouldn't you know it, you have singed the contract and noone make those peds forms you need, what to do? If you had the markup you now can enjoy getting paid for doing the work.
The other thing that happens is someone decides hey I saw Bobby joes deer mount, I wan my African animals done that way, you get the hides finally and their order and its to late to go up on price to cover your cost.
If you really feel they need a discount, you also have room to go down a few dollars toooooo.
