Nice job! I've done oe like that. I didn't like the shine on the plastic so I camo dipped it before mounting the antlers.

Looks really nice!

May be a silly question but did sawing the antlers off the skull affect the racks width at all?

You have to take measurements of width and then adjust antlers by turning them in or out after you get them screwed in place on the pedical bases. Not perfect but got it to within and 1"

They make one called record keeper,where you cut the skull off with the antlers and attach to the synthetic skull, but if it's that big you would want to do another kind if mount i'm sure.

Good to know! I've got a few smallish 8 pointers just laying around that I'd like to try this with to see how I like it.
