This thing is massive.

Very nice, I have the whole skull from mine too. Love it.

Was the skull prepared in Africa?

Chef, if you are asking about mine, no. I've got the lower jaw and the whole thing rests on a table. I do like the plaque mount above too, very pretty wood.

I'm wondering about the one in the picture. I think they look pretty cool!

Yes, this was in Africa and was still being worked on.

I am with Aspen Hill on Euros, I like the bottom jaw and all teeth on the Euro Mounts, it adds a bit to the cost but is definitely worth it if done properly i.e. pull the teeth out, cure, then put them back.

Depends on the mount, sometimes I like the bottom jaw. On deer, elk, stags I like the skull split because it's way more traditional. How long is the giraffe skull?

It was longer than a Steenbok....I will try to dig out a comparison pic.

Hope this gives you some idea for the size of Giraffe euro mount. This is a different skull, it was maybe a tad bit smaller than the first one I posted. The first one was just enormous.

Thanks, that gives it some perspective. Big animals for sure!
