Phatdaddy Report post Posted October 2, 2011 Hey guys, I've just plucked a small set of deer antlers from the ant hill (they do a lovely job at cleaning) and they're all washed up. I want to try and mount them to a plaque and do the covering with leather. I'm still in the research stage, but curious if you all could offer any tips and tricks. Thanks and have a great day.

WinterBear Report post Posted October 2, 2011 I can offer some suggestions if I know a little more about what you have and what you are trying to do. More information please? I assume these aren't sheds from your placing them in the ant hill. Are they attached to the skull plate? If so, is the skull plate intact (both antlers are attached to the top of the skull and it forms one piece) or split (each antler is separate and each has a piece of skull attached). If not, were the antlers sawn from the pedestal and how far does the pedestal extend from the burr (how long is the bit from the burr/skin interface to where the cut is)? What type of leather plaque do you want? Smooth leather covered? Or sueded? Flat, or slightly domed? Leather antler cover on wood plaque? Do you plan on using a mount kit or make your own?
