WNY Bowhunter Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I recently finished up a demo mount for my shop. The rack came from a buck I found dead several years ago, the cape belonged to my mid-October bow buck from last season. I'm pretty happy at how he turned out... 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

growalot Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I can't put my finger on it, but you seem to do somthing different around the eyrs then I've seen in other mounts. I like it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

growalot Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Do you set them deeper than most or bring the brow/lid farther out? It gives IMO, the impression of them being in thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives IMO, the impression of them being in thought... No, most forms/manniken these days have preset eye sockets built into them. After you set the eye you build the brow area up with clay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
