Csk21 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I've done a few Euro mounts myself and they came out pretty good. Just looking for something different. Anyone ever done a Euro that gets cut flat? Is there a special name? Just wondering where you'd start your cuts and such Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wooly Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Here's a couple I did a few years ago. First one was a chunk of rough cut lumber from an old abandon blind. I cut and sanded that one to shape, and added some little cut off antlers for a stand to prop it up. I liked the way the grain of the wood pattern fit the skulls outline. The second one I just cut an old fence post and wrapped some barbed wire around it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Csk21 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 Nice I like the barbed wire. Did you just eyeball your cuts along the back side of the eye sockets more or less? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wooly Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Nice I like the barbed wire. Did you just eyeball your cuts along the back side of the eye sockets more or less? Yep, the barbed wire one was the first I did this way and I got a little too far into the eye sockets than I would have liked. I made sure I didn't do that again on the second one. These were bucks I found dead, so it was free practice for me. They're not perfect, but that's not what I was after with the finished product. I like to mess around with these kind of things in the off season just for fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdwaz Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I've done a few Euro mounts myself and they came out pretty good. Just looking for something different. Anyone ever done a Euro that gets cut flat? Is there a special name? Just wondering where you'd start your cuts and such I just snapped a pic of one that I shot 25? years ago that hangs in the basement. I had Bernie Seitz do it and originally it was on a plaque but I pulled it off, thought it looked better without it. If you'd like, I can take a better side view tomorrow. I have plenty of other European mounts but all the rest have nothing cut off except the lower jaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Csk21 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 Thanks guys. I was just looking for something a bit different. I was actually just going to cut the antlers off but a friend talked me into keeping it whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
