nice job, a quick fix for the top nose bone on your mount that has split if you care.. Take the mount off the plaque..turn mount upside down resting on antlers where the skull is propped up at a slight angle upside down...take 2 rubber bands and put them around (tight) the nose cavity pulling the split bones together...no put a few dabs of super glue down the split and let dry.. repeat 2 more times.

The only reason it might not hold is that they been split for some time and the bone has dried out..making it harder to pull back together but it's worth a shot. somehting to rember on future mounts.. also, you can whiten the yellowish lines on top of skull, behind the antlers w/ sunlight and peroxide.. my 2 cents worth.

I will check for that "How-To" forum on European mounting. I really want to do one now after seeing yours.

Great job Ernie. Did you make the plaque or buy it somewhere? I'm needing a couple of plaques and don't currently have access to the equipment to make them myself.

Thanks.

It is pretty easy to do, and really gratifying once you get it finished.

There is a "how to" on doing Euro's here on the forum....... if you haven't seen it already?!?

Awesome job on that skull and antlers. Some day I really want to try and do that. I only hope it comes out looking that good.
