Whitetail pedestals on granite base

Here's a couple of mounts that just went home.

didn't my pronghorn and tx dahl come in before these to your shop?

Very Classy Stuff ya' got there.

Looks great (and HEAVY).

Looks great and what is the backing on the back of each mount?

I wish everyone could see how awsome this piece is up close! the picture is good but it doesn't do it justice!!!! great work as usual bud!

Dang! I like those. That granite is a great idea.

Yes they did Josh, But this client has 10 work orders AHEAD of yours and he asked me to move this piece to the front of HIS work orders. Sorry you feel slighted but your mounts were not moved back at all. Your pronghorn and TX dall will still be mounted in the time frame we discussed.
Matt, thanks for the kind words.
Longhorn95, it is heavy, this piece has to be dismanntled to be moved.
stxranchman, the backing is a rock finish similar to what Josh will have on his wall pedestal Pronghorn and TX dall.
Chad, thanks bud.

Thanks Hugh. I have done these bases for bushbucks, cape buffalo, eland, and kudu. Don't have to worry about them tipping over. They are also a pivot pedestal. The mounts can be rotated 360 degrees to view at any position in the room.

Love the backings you can tell alot of work went into these mounts.

Dang Richard, no NEED to get your panties in a wad. I was joking. Geez.

Really, really good work!

Ah, Y'all quit argueing!!!
Those are very nice Richard!
I like them very much!
And Thats base is Killer!

Looks great. What do you charge for a custom piece like that?

That looks awesome. Those are some huge bucks. Great work!

I appreciate the complements. Here is a Cape Buffalo I did a few years ago on a similar base. This client went back and got another one and it will be added to this piece similar to the double deer pedestal.

Richards work is awesome. He does my work. Glad you got that camera and posting pics now! Lol. Nice job. Buff looks great!

great work!

Nice

Sweet!

Very nice. Love the granite bases to go along with those huge bucks!

WOW! I like the whitetail mounts a lot and I love that cape buffalo mount. That is awesome work!

Those are some real nice WT's.

Great concept!
They look awesome. It is really nice to see a taxidermist with good creativity. I wish you were closer to DFW

Wow, I thought this thread was lost in the archives.
Thanks again for all the kind words.
One of the pieces I'm currently working on will have 2 large red stags sitting atop a single onyx base.
Roughly 800" of antlers in a single display.
Inside the base a lighting system will be installed that is activated by a photocell which will illuminate the base at night, turning it into the largest night light I have ever seen.
It will be on display at our local SCI banquet next month.
I'll post some pictures when it's completed.

Man that's sharp

Awesome mounts!

Those really are special. I'd either have to live outside my house of the mounts would! I could set them outside by a window! Great work...

Great lookin' mounts!

does that mount go toegther in a pair, if so that a nice set up for 2 studs

Richard, when you get your stags up and on their pedestal post a pic. I have seen these 350-400"+ at his shop in person. Unreal animals and awesome mounts also.

These deer are currently being displayed as a pair. I'm having another base built for the 2 bucks shown below. When completed the client will be able to mix and match any of the 4 deer on either of the bases in just a minute or two.
Thanks Josh, Ill post some pictures of the stags in a couple of weeks.
