Mounting antlers on reproduction skulls

I purchased an elk reproduction skull on page 19 of the newest WASCO catalog. Does anyone have any recommendations for the best was to attach the antlers to it? Thanks, Todd.

I used a 5/16 threaded rod. I drilled into the base of the antler, and then down through the skull. I epoxy'd the rod into the antler first, then when dry bend it a touch if needed to line everything up nice, Then epoxy into the skull and bolt it from the bottom as well. The last step is to fill the gap with some epoxy putty and paint it to match.
