This taxidermy pedestal was custom made for a gentleman in Texas. He will mount a Trophy Texas Whitetail to it and it will then be taken to the Texas Big Game Awards Show.
The pedestal is made out of juniper and the base is burled red gum from Australia. Both are inlayed with turquoise. It stands around 3’ tall
The pedestal was finished with polycrylic and the base was finished with tung oil

Very cool piece. I am really inspired by your turquoise inlays, I love the natural flow and abstract use of them that I assume is “hiding” or “highlighting” (depending on your viewpoint) all the natural cracks and splits in the wood. I recently harvested a limb very similar to this one only the inside of the “arc” is open about 8” at the smallest to about 18” at the widest and about 14” tall. It is amazing how juniper will grow sometimes. Thanks for posting, great project.

Wow this is really fantastic and should win the contest without the deer! Please update this photo when the Whitetail is mounted to this if you can get a picture! It would be something to see!
