homemade antler plaques

[willyqbc]

well I was tired of paying taxidermy bills and waiting forever for simple antler displays so I figured I'd try and put together something myself. Now I'm no carpenter by any means, and while they are simple in design I think they will do nicely for my purposes....definately some room for refinements on future projects though!!:tongue:

Chris, they look cool that way - at least then they are up and out of the sheds, garage and closets :)

That`s a damn good way you figured out there ,I`m going to do some of my smaller ones that way. I usually do the sculpted plaster head shape,an assload of work by the way,I usually only do it for big racks or for friends.(or money:biggrin:)I`ll see if I can post a pic or two.

Oh I forgot to add that I like the burnt look to your wood bases Willyqbc! Did you torch it or belt sand the piss out of it??
