I like that a lot, Mike. Much more interesting than the standard mount.

really enjoy your mount I like the European mount style and have done numerous ones – it really is ( in My opinion) a good use for that beautiful burl. there has to be others out there for clocks etcetera

Beautiful mount Mike,
By the looks of it, you ate the whole thing.

Nice job Mike. I think slabs like this are better used for clocks. But, then I don’t hunt. Except for nice pieces of wood like this here.

Thats one nice piece of wood. I get a chuckle seeing impressive bucks close to urban areas that cant be harvested because of their location.

Biggest deer I have ever seen walked through a government installation at the edge of the city. I’d like to find his rack wherever he dropped it and mount it the way you did.

Thanks all thankfully it was a hugh burl and I have a lot more slabs to make clocks or mount caribou horns on. jockmike Actually Dick I had my own to eat the whole thing, I think just the ribs are left. mike
