Natures euro mount,I hope you played the lottery that night.A wash tub of hot water and borax should help with the smell, and a fer bottles of peroxide as well.Congrats on a very cool find.

I decented them today with a peroxide and baking soda mixture that works on most everything including skunk spray and it worked great.

The racks dryed a yellow/grey color that I wasn't to fond of and I wanted them dark like I found them so I did a little painting tonight and they came out looking pretty good.

     

     

     

The dryed pretty fast sitting in the 100f sun yesterday so tomorrow I'm heading to the saw mill and see if I can get a nice piece of wood to mount them on.

Thanks for looking!

Your coloring looks great.If they were mine,I'd put them on an octagon,pedestal base with artificial water,covered with duckweed etc.Not as deep as the original water,but maybe 1".

What a great find!  Thanks for sharing with us.  Can't wait to see them mounted on your wood of choice.
