Looking for pedestal conversion

Hello, I am trying to find out who makes a conversion kit to modify a regular should mount form into a table pedestal form? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Caye

Sorry Caye, no one.

It would be impossible to "convert" every game head that way. Forms differ so greatly, even within the series of the same supplier. If you doubt that, set one down on a piece of cardboard. Trace the back and then cut it out. See how many other forms that cutout will fit. And that's the same number that a "conversion" kit would fit. These are modifications that you have to do yourself as a taxidermist.


Thank you George

Thanks, for your response George. Do you know of a supplier that makes a mule deer table pedestal form? If not I will get to work and sculpture one up for my application. thanks again Caye

just had an article on converting one. Chris Barnhardt was the author. He mounted the hide and finished it in the latest issue. Contact TT and order the back issue and subscribe. It's worth the investment.
