Suggestions for zebra 'trophies' other than the hide

Yes, om my kitchen table

That’s excellent! I’d be interested in hearing what you used, plywood, staples etc. also how you mounted to your wall

Thanks, yes, just plywood. I first used a too thin one so it bended, increased thickness to 9 mm, but still bending a bit so put some metal reinforcement beams on the back. Seems quite some strong forces on such a hide, perhaps because still drying.

For the hide on the back I put in (plenty) small eyelets and a screew into the plywood to hold it.

For hanging I put a stell wire through holes I drilled in the reinforcements beams, joined the wire in a loop with wire rope clips. A screw in the wall, and it is just hanging like a painting.

Wonder if this is clear. If not, get back to me and I will try to clarify.

Yes thank you, i may have to try this for some of my hides
