Pedestal mount finally complete. #9914444 05/20/15 Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 24,627 Midwest SKane OP Campfire Ranger OP SKane Campfire Ranger Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 24,627 Midwest The mount has been done for a year. The pedestal finally arrived today. (the delay was mostly due to my indecision ) Some of you may recall the deer - taken in northern MN a couple of seasons back while hunting with my good friend and fire member, handwerk. Pretty happy with the end product. WWP53D
