Looks pretty darn good! If you want to darken the antlers a bit they sell antler darkener. I just darkened my European mounts this summer.

I have done two of them and agree they are pretty smelly to do. After doing two, I decided last year to do some research and see if I can find someone to do them with beetles. I found a guy in Wisconsin that does them for $50 plus shipping. He does thousands of them a year. For around $70 including shipping they come back to you with a plaque and perfectly white and even still have the nasal tissue there. I was quite happy with mine this year.

Great job though, everything look great and quite as nice buck as well!
