Apologies if this is in the wrong place.
There was a thread not so long ago where a member had built his own pedestals using pallets/reclaimed/distressed looking wood and said he could supply the build plans to interested members.
I have searched and searched and looked through the forums but I can't find the thread, does anyone remember the thread and if so can you point me in the right direction please?
 
I forget his member ID. His name is Jody from Pennsylvania I believe. Check with @gizmo , I think he can help you.
 
Here is a pedistal base I made. I stained it and used a flat, clear, paint-on top coat. Ones this size were over $400 to buy. After I had paid for the balance on the mount, I decided to make my own. Reclaimed wood would be nice...just make sure you have a good frame so it does not collapse.

Good morning,
Did you hunt w Leeuwkop at their ranch or in Zimbabwe? The ranch looks awesome, but I'll be in Zimbabwe for buffalo and whatever else we dig up.
What did you hunt for?
Vaccines?
What rifle did you use?
I feel like I need a good cotton safari shirt and an ammo belt to make the hunt feel right!
How often did you shoot prior to going?
Did you use sticks for shooting practice?
