I saw van dykes has a descent plaque for sale but does anybody have any pics of their diy tusk mounts they are willing to share for ideas? Or any other ideas for tusks? Thanks

The photos of these shadowbox mounts are terrible with the reflections but see a couple sets of warthog tusks .

Although the glass on these shadowboxes is reflective, they are a low cost option for mounting items.

If interested on these shadowboxes, on Amazon search for,

12x15 Large Shadow Box Frame, Deep Display Case, Red​

Knife Display Case Shadow Box Wall Mount Knife Stand Holder​

I use very fine wire to secure the tusks to the box, once again from Amazon,

Cridoz 26 Gauge Stainless Steel Wire for Jewelry Making, Bailing and Craft​

I saw somewhere someone did something similar to this but with warthog tusks on walnut. I liked the way it looked. Of course, I can't find the exact photo I am thinking of at this time.
 
Probably not the traditional way of displaying them, but pretty cool non the less. Client had me make this for him. Not the biggest tusks, probably why he wnet this way

I've got two made myself. Still want to upgrade them with some leather or brass at the base of the tusks.

I shot better photos of the above warhog tusks and Untamed knife. All I had to do was open the door on the shadowboxes... :)

I've got a few Africa-shaped plaques that I'm not using. I'd be happy to send your way.

Good morning from Montana.

I'm looking at a post from 2018 where you were looking for a lefty Winchester in .375 H&H Magnum. I'm selling mine. My email is [redacted] in the event that you're still searching for a unicorn.

Best,

Kelly Palmer

Good Evening. I am very interested in you hunt for the spiral slam. March in 2028 would be fine for me

Couple of quick questions:

1) Can we add some additional species on
2) what do you want for a deposit?
3) how do you want me to sign up

I'm on whats app or email

Kurt [redacted]

have a great evening
