Building an Elk--Finished pics!!

DRT · Apr 29, 2011

Well, all finished, there are a few things that I am not real happy with and definately some things that I would change. I've gotten a few more elk capes and will be doing a similar thread for those, I have some good plans for those, one will be a 265" 6x6 as a pedestal, the other a 345" 6x6 similar to this one.

So here are a few finished pics, I don't have the greatest light in my house so I had to make do with a few spot lights, anyway, let me know what you think, good and bad.

with antler detached.

Thanks for watching.

Looks really good. Show some close-ups of the nose and eyes if you can. Who tanned your cape?

I think it looks great- that scar on the nose is pretty sweet..!!!

The mount looks great. I noticed the lantern hanging in the background. How did you attach the antler to the wood. I was wondering how to do that without drilling a whole through it or if you did how did you hide it. Thanks
