Default Buck Antler Plank Mount (Coustom Made)

I made a plaque for a set of 6 point buck antlers i had. I am only 14 and i made this all by myself using a jig saw and a band saw and i hand sanded it. I had no help what so ever. Im only 14 and i enjoy making this stuff and obviously hunting. Im gonna hang it up on my wall here soon.
I would kinda like to get into maybe making these and selling them i was wondering if anyone could give me some advice. Tell me what you think of these i made. The pictures wont upload due to the file being to big so if anyone is willing to help me out id be willing to send pictures of them to u just give me ur email address. thanks

Use a good template from the start...you WILL get better every time with a band saw and router. A bit of felt or leather or something to cover the screws and skull cap to finish it off--voila. Keep it up

i would recommend runnin the screws in through the back of the plaque instead of through the front of the skull or antlers.
