Unconventional Sika Mount

[JH83]

Not wishing to steal @deerstalker.308 thunder with his lovely goat mount, a good friend has just done this for me and sent over a pic of the finished article. The beastie was a very old sika that had just lost a scrap (yes, I got the other too ) and is just full of character so I thought he needed his space on the wall. My mate is a joiner and did the same with a really nice roebuck he got on mine. It isn’t for everyone but I must say I think it looks smart.

Looks grand!

Funny someone sent me a picture of a roe done similarly when I was debating how to do the goat….!

My mate did one like this…

They are both brilliant. Just the inspiration for a couple of heads I have.

One of you fellas should try to replicate this.. Too expensive for anyone In the UK to buy but an interesting gadget ($130 + Shipping) allows 360* movement, Want a skull upside down? You can do it.

Really nice work, how are you securing the skull to the metal rod?

Really nice work, how are you securing the skull to the metal rod?

It’s just drilled and secured/reinforced with putty and just sits on so it can be removed

Epoxy resin would do the trick if I wanted it fixed

Hi

Thank you for a very interesting idea to get some dusty skulls exposure in a fine way!
I did toy with using some marble off-cuts (have some weight) as a base - but seems difficult to get anyone to drill the required 6mm hole for my mounting system.......
