What taxidermist created these? They are sharp looking!
 
I'm going to use one of those cheapo Walmart shields for this one. I call it my wood buck just to remind me that once the sun goes down, you can't see every twig as well as in the daylight. Am waiting until after the season is over before I create a ruckus with the chainsaw. Anyhoo, some awesome wood creations for mounting. Especially like the African continent ones.

I've tagged a few of those!!
 
Made this one for single skulls. Not stain or cleared yet though. It is 22" long 15" wide and should work for a smaller skull to hang on wall. Just a smaller one then the shield that stands on a base that I make.

I really like this idea...some leather or flat skin in the middle might look nice too. Very nice!

Yeah, someone creative could do some really cool things with the concept. That's not me though. Perhaps some kind of two tone wood as well?

Regardless, it's one of my favorite pieces.

For sure, a piece of zebra skin would make for a looker.

Those were my specialty!
 
Hogpatrol - you better put your tag on that! Lol. I had a similar outcome on the back wall of the indoor 3D range building last night. Apparently foam black bear can jump at the last second allowing an arrow to pass under them. Lol
 
The “Africa” shaped plaques are available from Research Mannikins and probably other companies as well. I saw one that was covered will blue wildebeest hide and the skull over that. It was easy to put together, inexpensive (comparatively) and beautiful
