You hav'nt seen the wreath!!!

The wreath idea is interesting....What i want to do is mount all 3 in a similar way...just dont quite have the idea yet. Ill be cutting up some downed cedars this weekend and may try to figure something out...like a slab off the butt end....sort of a panel if you will and a piece of the trunk to cover up the bondo area...

any other photos of tail mounts?

that sounds like an awesome idea wooddust.........both in one.....let me get all mine together and i'll post a pic...
couldnt get a good pic with the house all boarded up, so i'll paste ones already posted in the past...


the one on the wall was my first , it just has a plain backboard to it....the one on the table is my 3rd one....side view of it below, since then i have taken the outter bark off....


this is my 4th one, front view...and my 5th one..the latest one...the one on the right is my 2nd one....had a paintbrush......that one i started to redo, but i havent finished it....

Bless You!! Great photos and very workable Ideas.....I gotta get creative!

I mounted mine using a piece of maple burl.
The call was made from this bird's wing which just happened that the Tom at one point had a broken wing and survuved. The beard was glued into the shell I used and the spurs mounted on the call.

This was tail mount I did for a friend.
The feather tips didnt come out so great because he didnt keep it in the best condition before he brought it to me.

This was done with deer leather, rabbit fur, whitetail antler buttons I make, Green stone arrowhead.

I also make Dream Catchers with the wing feathers and the Turkey Spurs with deer leather , fox fur and turquoise for friends.

This is my spring 2003 bird that I shot. My plan was to but it on a plaque that i got from Cabelas. I wasn’t happy with the cheap wood also it seemed to be too small. One afternoon I found some scrap wood laying around and traced the old plaque on some fine oak and came up with this.

ok the picture wont come up
