Wow this is the first vid that was more direct abt how to put it together i have made a mount with my boyfriend that is of a wapiti spike and, i cut the plaque and carved out two oak leaves and an acorn on it. We drilled the skull directly onto the plaque and added a teeth hanger to the back which is what i prefer. I bought a whitetail rack off etsy and I’ve been struggling trying to mount them more traditionally and this vid was really direct about how to actually do it and do it well. Thanks so much

I shot my first branch antlered buck last year on the first day of the rifle season in West Virginia. A 17 in wide 6 point with a broken brow and tip on the opposite G2. I ended up doing a Euro mount on two sliced logs 🪵 that had a dark stained WV, 2020 date and picture frame 🖼. I am pretty happy with it. I would share it with you but I didn’t find you on Instagram.

I have a few new mounts to work on over the winter, so maybe I can go over that in more detail. Not sure when those videos will be done. I just add water till its a consistency that seems good to work. Personally I try to err on the side of too wet rather than to dry. It sets up quickly and if its too dry it will be hard to work before you get it all where you want it. I try to make one or two batches that fill in the bulk of the space, then do a final batch thats nice and creamy to smooth on and get it really nice. I like to use something flat like the back side of a butter knife. I also find that getting my fingers wet and rubbing the surface can smooth out the imperfections. You can also sand the surface once it is fully cured.

Usually we hide the ends behind one of the antler bases and just glue them down. Usually use hot glue to glue one end down which also holds the braid together. We use a small rubber band to hold the other end together while we work the braid around the mount. When you get all the way around, you can take the rubber band off, trim to length and glue the end down.

Sure I don’t see why that would be a problem. It’s plenty thick and would probably want to sand a bevel in the edge so you get a nice blend with the plaster.

Do you sell those arrow back boards if so I’m interested?

I do not. I made a few of my own, and had a guy with a CNC machine make some more, but he doesn't seem interested in making more of them.

Just tried it, still in process. The plaster of Paris was very runny, so I went 4:1. Can you include more video if app,using the braid, especially what you did with the ends?

I just house hot glue to secure the ends and hide the seems behind the antler.

Finished! Turned out well for a first try, thank you for the video and advice! I’d send you a picture but don’t know how, lol.

Hi! How would you mount antlers that are not attached to a skull ? I found two perfect ones that were shed right in my backyard!
