Jerry, Do you weight the bases to hold the tusks against tipping?

The tusks are perfectly balanced , they will actually stand by themselves. The bronze elephant head mounts and cherry wood bases are fairly heavy though, you would have to push them over to make them fall. Jerry Huffaker State, National and World Champion Taxidermist | |||

Jerry, that is a beautiful display. Dennis, your revelation of what another man potentially spent was tacky. | |||

Well, 505gibbs, I didn't think of it that way, ONLY you with your tacky smart *ss remarks all over this forum would. I simply and inadvertently mentioned the cost of Scotts bronze holders, no malice was at all indented. this was in a longer post than now appears, they are the most beautiful holders you can find or buy and pricy. | |||

Yes, they went together very well. They are tight, you can pick them up on each end and carry the whole thing as a unit. Jerry Huffaker State, National and World Champion Taxidermist | |||
