Hi there I'm looking for ideas for the shape of the plaque, that best suits the Warthog. I've decided on Railwood, as I think it sets off the bleached skull nicely. Your thoughts please. I'm posted the same request in the taxidermy thread, but no info provided. | ||

When I spent a day at Fredrick Redeker's farm in Namibia I was very taken with a warthog Euro mount that he had on the wall. The skull was placed at an angle(+-45 Deg.?) that held the tusks parallel to the wall. The shield was a simple oval of dark wood. It was mounted just above eye level. The mount was perfect. I wish I had more time, I would dig up the picture, then scan and post it. Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

I put the pig skulls on a walnut panel,or dark cherry, routered with a ogee bit, placed on the wall pedestal with a 27 degree angle. You can trace the outline of the skull and make a custom board. I place the skull square down on the lower jaw but they look good kicked back a little too.
