I'm in the process of getting an elk mounted and was wondering if anyone has ever done a free-floating pedestal for the wall? I know it is likely possible to add a base to the pedestal to bring the antler beams out far enough from the wall for clearance.
My preference is to use heavy metal tubing and brackets to make the bull appear to be floating on the wall. My mount will likely weigh well over 100 lbs so it likely will need some type of sturdy attachment set up (foamed in wood or metal) inside the mannikan?
I'm aware that Animals in Motion make a setup but unfortunately it isn't sturdy enough and large enough to allow clearance for my bull's antlers.
If anyone has any ideas that they've used on elk or other species I'd love to see them!
