Wanted something a little different, kinda neat on the drift wood

i like the driftwood quite a bit...had got one of mine back last fall (also a euro), and after seeing yours i think i'm going to do the same thing...thanks for posting that.

LIKE !

Like it !!

The shape and contour of the driftwood is perfection - really cool mount.
I may have to do some treasure hunting on the beach.

Looks good

The driftwood concept would certainly spruce up a couple euro-mounts.

I got a couple setting in cottonwood burls....

Never seen anything like that. Very cool.

Thats cool.

I told him,this year if I get a decent one we'll go with a longer pc and add a stringer of perch or a steelie
That would really be cool

Pretty nice looking.

I have 1 skull that needs something to mount it to. May keep my eyes peeled when we are on the lake this year.

That turned out really nice. great idea

Looks GREAT! I almost did similar with the driftwood, but went this route.



I did this with mine. I've a in-the-field photo fixed to the backer board.

Best one I've seen. Real nice!

Taxidermist I know has been putting these walnut blocks on the back of his Euro mounts. Got this back 2 weeks ago.

All of them are very well done....

I did one kind of like that with my kid's antelope years back.

I had a clown taxidermist do a EURO mount for me a few years back. He painted the skull with white paint claiming the bones would disintegrate without it. I was not happy at all since I have a ton of EURO mounts in the house that have never had their skulls painted. I keep forgetting to bring it to another taxidermist to fix it or maybe get a small donor buck and have it shoulder mounted.

Very nicely done!

That's pretty cool too, Don.
Are you taking orders for the burls?

First off to the OP - that looks terrific! Never thought of doing anything like that but will need to try that. Either a nice piece of driftwood would be great or a weathered piece of juniper might work??

We had some hard wood floors done a few years ago, with some of the shorter scraps I made up these little stands, not as nice as the others shown but works OK for antelope.

Good looking Euro's all around.

Look good all around. Have a couple elk racks I need to work up. Waiting for some warmer weather here and I'll get them into a water bath.

I was cutting fire wood when I got my 2015 euro back, so ..................

All good stuff. Great ideas.

rong,
It's perfect, even my wife gave a thumbs up.

The drift wood is very nice. The burl a close second. I saw one where they had cut a tree that had a rub on it and had the skull mounted. That was pretty nice too.

Was just at hobby/ craft store looking at basswood cuts w bark around edge.

Got two euros at home just laying on shelf

Will run the pic of the OPs driftwood by the ol lady and see if thatll work. Think go to reservoir since water down and find a chunk. Something to do next weekend

I love my Euros! That’s a great look with the driftwood.

Beautiful euro mounts, quite a collection. But I need my dog back, please

Great stuff. My dog would have torn all of those off the mantle and chewed them into pieces.

I like that !”
