So I am pretty sure I am jumping the gun here as my hunt is not until may 23. I have been looking at the shiels some people are using for their euro mounts and have started making my own. What do you think of the design? This shield is just over 6' tall and 20" wide and made from Khaya "african mahogany"

Where's the photo?
 
Looks good to me. Are you planning on always leaning it in a corner or will you make it self standing ? I'd want it to be at least stand alone if needed for stability especially after adding skulls to it. Might make it unbalanced and I'd hate to see it fall over and damage the skulls.

I will be making a stand with spears. I just leaned it up for the photo.
 
I like your planning ahead! It looks good!
 
Looks great. That is taking "enjoy the planning" to a whole new level!
 
Nice design and nice looking piece of wood. Always good to plan and be ahead !
 
Here is mine. The base is shaped like Africa. :)

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,

Love your rifle! I'm needing a heavier rifle for Africa. Sold my .375 Dakota Safari several trips ago. Would you have any interest in a trade of some sort involving the custom 338/06 I have listed here on the site ( I have some room on my asking price. I also have a large quantity of the reloading components and new Redding dies as well as a box of A-Square Dead Tough ammo.
