Many people choose a skull mount (aka European mount) because it is a simple and elegant way to preserve the trophy.  The most popular options are:

  1. Skull with Hanger

  2. Skull on Natural Driftwood

  3. Skull on Walnut Plaque

We use maceration to remove flesh from the bone, degreased with acetone, whitened with hydrogen peroxide, and sealed.  After this process we either add a hanger or attach it either to a piece of cedar driftwood or a plaque handmade from Walnut or rustic barn wood.  By the time a skull is complete, it is a true piece of Texas ingenuity and craftsmanship.

1. Skull with Hanger: This is the most basic and modern look.  Many people choose this option because of its simplicity and timelessness.  It is also easier to pick up and be passed among friends which is appealing if you want your buddies to feel the weight of the antlers.  This is also the least expensive option.

2. Skull on Driftwood:  This is the most popular option.  Each piece of cedar driftwood is cut flat on the back but remains 3 dimensional on the outside.  We hand pick each piece of driftwood to match the antlers on your trophy. If the antlers are heavy and atypical then we will pick a larger piece of gnarly driftwood.  If the rack is small and symmetrical then the piece of wood will match it.  The driftwood option can be hung on the wall or made to sit on a table or shelf - please specify when placing your order.

3. Skull on Plaque:  This option is almost as popular as the driftwood.  Our plaque options are walnut, rustic barn wood and Red Cedar.

4. Skull on Three-Piece Plaque: The plaque can be hung on a wall or reversed to sit on a table.  This plaque comes in Walnut (pictured).
