Got my Solana Euro Mount Done. Pretty Dang Cool.
« on: September 30, 2012, 01:44:00 PM »
Whe I killed this buck at Solana last year I knew that I was going to get a European mount done, but was pretty vague about how it would end up.  I sent the skull back to Alabama with Don and Skyler and traded Sky a Robtattoo knife to clean it up for me.  

Last summer I picked it up from him while on vacation and I began to think about how to display it.  After looking on the internet at a couple of designs.  I sketched out what I wanted and took it to a buddy of mine who makes jewelry and display boxes out of cedar.  

I think it turned out nice.

Keepsake drawer on back:

 

I wanted to be able to take the antlers off and handle them if I wanted to.  This is what i came up with.  Slide out antlers with "secret" compartment:
