Swamphunter Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 I got a little down time since almost all of my interior projects are done for the winter. I want to make the two pedestals I need for my whitetail skulls that I am going to turn into European mounts come spring. Does anyone have any plans for these that they could email me? Its not the base I really need, it is the shape of the platform and measurements of it. Maybe a link to a set of plans?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artisticwhitetails Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Re: Skull mount pedestal plans? I buy my skull pedestals from Ben Mears in Mississippi. I can buy em cheaper than I could make it. Well, not really but Im a lazy arse. Anywho, the shape is kinda hard to describe without you looking at it. I will post the measuements of the panel if you want???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be more of a cost for me to order two then to make em'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
