Shooter,

Do you have any pics of the barnsiding plaques? I am having my first deer mounted and my dad has a ton of old barnsiding.
Thanks

+1. This is my mount with a piece of barn wood from my grandmas barn. Just pressure washed it and then cut out the arrowhead pattern. The hard thing is finding a piece wide enough.

We actually pulled a grain room door from the barn that's made of 2 pieces that are 18+ inches wide. We cleaned it and decided to keep it together and I'm just going to mount multiple deer heads to it and afix it to my wall. I think it'll look awesome.

im 14 years old and i made my own plaque for a set of whitetail deer antlers. I used a jig saw and band saw and i hand sanded it. If you would like to see pics give me ur email address im thinking of making them and selling them i have old weathered barn wood, oak, stained oak. Id prolly could make u a deal if your interested.

Crenth,
That does look nice. A buddy of mine also took barbedwire and made a big circle, about 5-6 loops and put around it...looks good also.
