Default RE: Zen Antler Mounts (Pic maybe, maybe not)

vc, I actually glue the batting and the felt to the back side of the plywood. I glue a spot about an inch or so long and then cut the excess off all the way around. I start at the bucks left side. I will cut a small circle out of the material, about the size of the pedical, then make a cut to the outside of the material. I make sure the seam is going to be hidden by the antler. If the antlers have a good burr at the base I will tuck the material up under it so none of the batting is visible. On racks that have a very small burr, or none at all, I will use the braid. As for the plaster, I like the regular old plaster for repairing drywall. I have tried the plaster used for casting molds and crafts and didn't care for it. It shaped very easy, but took too long to dry.
