Here are a couple of recent mounts, AR member Dave Moore's Namibian gemsbok and red hartebeest:

Nice Grafton. Now, I may have to reconsider a hartebeest next year!

Nice work Grafton , I just did some pillows for Dave.

Nice work! Is the gemsbok on the new McKenzie pedistal?

Very nice work, I like the facial expression on hartebeest, well done.

Yes it is the new Mckenzie wall pedistal form. This is the first one I have done using this form and I like the way it turned out. I think it is an especially good pose for hanging up high on the wall.

Here is another shot showing the front on view:



Thanks everyone for the comments.

Grafton,

Nice work! I especially like the skin wrinkles in the Gemsbok's arm pits. VERY CORRECT! Too many times this important detail is smoothed over by Taxidermists because they don't know what their subject looks like, or are not aware of the particular skin qualities of African game mammals. Good job!

John.

Grafton,

Great job...I like the quality you put in to your work...it shows!!!!!
