Good morning! I am trying to figure out the best way to procure a pedestal mount for a sable harvested in 2019. I finally have the trophy home but don't have a pedestal to mount it. Im based in Atlanta, Georgia if that help...Any help would be appreciated.
 
Look up McKenzie taxidermy supply-they have an assortment of pre fab ones and they do build custom ones as well. You can try a local woodworking shop or cabinet shop as well, sometimes they will build you one-I’ve had high school kids build them for me for their class projects. Most taxidermists offer this as a service as well and keep a good wood work or metal work guy on speed dial
 
Julian and Sons in Herber Springs, Arkansas, is who I’d get to build it. A Sable is a Royal animal - treat him accordingly.
 
Roostin Ridge (Google them) if Julian and Sons is too rich for your blood.
 
I would find a photo of something you like and then get with a local furniture maker or custom cabinet shop and get a quote from them.
 
I can definitely help you. I will customize one to your specs and make it out of anything you’d like

+ 1. Any good cabinet shop can build one locally.

Some things to note, make certain the base is wide enough. My sable is on a base that 22” by 22” at the bottom. That is minimum that I would go.
I have one base with wheels, it is ok but your base probably will need to be wider to conceal the wheels. My other bases have Teflon sliders. They work well.
Measure the dowel on the bottom of the mount. Make certain you have a hole in the base with little slop. I glued and nailed several pieces of plywood to the top (on the inside where it is not visible) and drilled the hole for the dowel though all of the pieces. It allows the piece to be more secure and not wobbly.

Contact @Jody here on AH who can build most anything. He will make it and ship stuff. That being said a base may be too large for regular shipping but you can ask him.
 
You should be able to go to a local cabinet shop and tell them what you have and what you want to do and they should be able to come up with a base for yo.
 
Here is an example of some of the bases I’ve built

See you are from Denmark - see quite a few Danes where I stalk in Scotland - great hunters.
The Harkilia stuff works well in Africa - I have a bit for use here in UK.
I am again looking for 600 Nitro dies preferably RCBS 1 inch. The set I purchased previously are 1 1/2 inch and do not fit my die. Another member has graciously taken them off my hands. If anyone happens to have a set of 600 Nitro Dies that will fit my Rockchucker Supreme RCBS press, please shoot me a message and thanks in advance for any assistance you may have to offer!
I have not posted any items for sale on this forum and will not every put anything for sale. My account was hacked and I've worked with the admin to get things shut down.
