    Euro mount pot

    Really happy how this one turned out although one of the fangs fell out while being rinsed and went down the sink. The only thing that I need to get is a better pot or something to boil the head in. I use a giant mixing bowl that I put on my side burner on the bbq but it slides around and the antlers are sometimes submerged. What do you experts have?

    Re: Euro mount pot

    that looks good, I think I've seen them boiled in deep fryer sized pots.

    I have a question guys that do this regarding my own mount. I have cleaned up a white tail skull that is a few years old. The skull is bright and clean from the peroxide but the antlers are white as well [ not peroxied but weathered ] Is there a good product to apply to the antlers to give them a natural look?

    Looks good. For deer and bear size skulls any good size pot will work. Canning puts are useally big enough if they are in your area a thrift store or
    second hand store sometimes have them for cheap. You can get a metal garbage can and cut it down for elk and moose size heads.

    Potassium permanganate. Should be able to get it from a pharmacy. Purple colored liquid but dries brown. Multiple coats until the antlers are as dark as you want them. Use an old paint brush and be sure to completely cover the skull so it stays white.

    rub green alder bark on dull spots sap dries brown same thing that gives antlers there colour in the first place.

    See my avatar. I bought a pot from the good will. I left it outside all winter and the bottom rusted out. Now I need one as well.

    You might have a hard time getting P.P. from a drug store. If you try go to a compounding pharmacy but they are discouraged from selling it now. It can be used in explosives apparently.

    I cut the bottom off a heavy duty 45 gallon drum, works great for deer to moose.
