1950 idaho buck

littlefoot · Jun 30, 2005

a friend called me yesterday and said he had a rack that a friend shot in idaho in 1950....rack was pretty 'weathered', and he wanted to know if i could do anything with it....thought i'd give it a shot...told him i was doing it at his 'own risk', and that if it came out acceptable, he would owe me a bottle of 'the brown stuff'....of course, i used the famous 'browtine method'...(special thanks to 'browtine') what do you think...is it worth a 'bottle'?

coupla 'befores' from this morning...

coupla 'afters'...

i know, i know,... you guys are thinking....i shouldn't have hired a professional model for these pics, but...you guys deserve nothing but the best...

Santa, you better put on some weight!!!!

The buck looks great. I think it turned out real good. I have just one question. What is the Browtine method? I have a set of hornes that I would love to get looking that good. Is this method that you are talking about "Top Secret" or could you tell me about it.

Knockmdead, no secrets to the method. Thats one of the reasons I shared the success I had with it. I got so tired of people saying "It's a secret" that I decided to use all the resources I had to find out which method works best for me. Here is a link to the original post, I hope you find it usefull.

Thanks so much Browtine. I have a couple of different sets that I will try this on. Hope they turn out half as good as this one did. Thanks for the link.

Racks calenders have nothing on you!

osulogger · Jul 1, 2005

Awesome job LF. How did you get the coloring done around base??? Likes kinda "knobby" and tough to get color in there in an even coat. Just curious, I got a rack with similar characteristics..

Kingfish...you know Santa is skinny during the summer. LF just needs the Mrs Clause to fatten him up this fall on some good venison. Nice work there LF, always enjoy your posts.

Nice looking "refinishing" job on the rack, congrats to you. As for the "poser" looking at his cheeks and nose, he might have got into your "Bottle" before you did.
Keep up the good work.
