Good job. Very nice job for your second mount. Your brother-in-law should be very pleased with your project. Keep up the good work, Paul.

Thanks. It was a crap ton of work (mostly the display) but a lot of fun and it's a good way to extend my season.

That is really cool! I like the artistic approach. That looks Awesome.....Well done....I especially like the base.....  Ever thought about putting a door on the base and making a small corner cabinet?

Great looking base and that's a great mount for your second bird!!'
If you don't want to do birds for others , I strongly suggest that you practice this one word......NO.
Every person you hunt with with try to get you to do a bird for them. Next thing you know you've got to buy an extra freezer.....,

^^ I've got a few friends and family I'm willing to mount a bird for. I'm thinking they pay my expenses and I get some experience. I'm prepared to say NO to others, though. I've got a month old at home and my time is no longer my own.
I did think about putting on a door and making it a small cabinet. Also thought about doing a whitewash of the Rice R on the front and even scripting out the alma mater. After 60 hours of work, though, I convinced myself it would take away from the overall piece.
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

I did think about putting on a door and making it a small cabinet Or leave the door off, and put other mounts inside. A dead hanging mount would be cool.

Great job for a second bird and the display is fantastic
reading these thoughts and ideas thought about swimming duck on top with a diver swimming in the space under it.
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true
Mainstream news might be fun to watch
