One problem with your comment, you just down graded work I did with out even knowing where THESE antelope horns set naturally. I drill 1 hole on the back of each sheath before slipping the horns of so when I put them back on they go right back to the position they were in NATURALLY. All you do is put a nail in through the hole in the sheath and line it up with the hole in the core , pushing the nail in till it stops, thus making that antelope naturally low. If you dont like them where they set NATURALLY on this antelope, thats your opinion .

LAST EDITED ON Apr-27-10 AT 09:27PM (MST)[p]I guess a guy can't have an opinion? If you are going to post your work all over then some might like it and some might not. I do like most of the mounts you have posted photos of, but the skull I didn't like. I wasn't purposely picking on you.
It looks like your work is nice and clean and white. It just looks like the horn is sitting on the eye orbit bone. I like them set a little higher, where the flesh and core would have held them. I have a couple antelope euro mounts. My opinion and yours-- just opinions, nothing more and nothing less.

I think you missed my point. Those horns on my antelope skull are set exactly as they were before I slipped them off the cores. What you dont get is all antelope are not the same is all. I agree with you to a point about them looking better higher up on the core, but I am not going to raise them to where they were not origionally .This antelope was a low horned critter. Your opinion is fine man, its a public forum. Its just when there is mis-information given and I have the facts of the certain animal, I want to clear it up so people understand what they are looking at.
