Default my 10pt. European pedestal mount

I'm new here and just wanted to see what you guys think about this mount. it is my 05' bow kill that i did myself. i also made the pedestal, it is made from solid walnut. by far i am not a pro at this but i have had people ask me to do a skull mount for them. i did another mount last week for a guy i know.

Nice! What method of cleaning the skull did you use? Boiling, Beatles?

Very nice. Looks great.
I'd like to get one of those done, but I still need to kill some more bucks to mount.. period...

thanks, i use the boil and peroxide method. i set up a turkey fryer in the garage and boil it in there, then i make the mounts at work in my spare time.

xtrembowhntr - That looks awesome - good work. I boil mine in borax and just paint the blasted things, b/c I can't seem to get the colors to match up perfectly. (I made 2 euromounts, and one skull was yellowish, while the otherturned outgleaming white).
