Looks great! How does the mount attach to the pedestal? Do you have pics of your full trophy room? Thanks for sharing

I’ve converted wall pedestal mounts to a pedestal mount and see no reason a true shoulder mount can’t be converted.

My taxidermist converted my Scimitar horn oryx wall mount to a pedestal mount by covering the back of the form with leather and imbeding a 1/2" id square tube inside the form. The tube in the mount slides over a 1/2" square rod that is welded on a 1/2" dia wood screw that screws into the top of the pedestal.

I'm envious of your woodworking skills. That looks amazing.

That's why I started to do pedestals.

There’s good business in making pedestals. I just paid $900 each for two almost identical to yours.
