Looks great! Can you show some more pics of how the deer are mounted on the pedestal?

Mike, here is a pic of the same type hanger mounted on a wall in my shop. The male fits on the back of the form, and its a small piece of square steel that slides inside the square tubeing.

Wow, very cool. It would be nice to see a picture of the pedestal all the way down to the floor. Looks like a nice piece of furniture.

Vermin93, here is a full pic of the pedestal. Its 32 inchs tall, 24 inchs square. The cedar limb was from an old tree that had died, and been there for years. I had always said I was going to use it one day, and finally got the chance.

What a beautiful mount.

That is one of the coolest whitetail mounts I have ever seen. I love the rustic look of that pedestal. Very nice work!

Nice looking all around, is nice to be able to reclaim and use that old barn, gives a connection to the whole thing.

The back of a regular form has a wood panel for mounting. Does the pedestal mount also? If not how do you mount it to a wall or in your case, a tree?

 

[tickweed]

The back of the wall pedestal has a flat wooden back, plywood. The male is a piece of square steel, app. 3/16 square by 2 inchs long with a piece of flat metal welded cross ways on it. It has two holes which screw to the wooden back of the form, then you place the male into the female bracket.
