Rack mount...

[Doe Master]

Well done Maple

[VixChix]

Oh my goodness, Maple! I've got tears rolling down my cheeks!!!!!!!!

You should see that room right now..... If I had enough guts I'd take a picture, but I'm not that brave. My 4 yr old has toys everywhere - "strategically" placed Legos from various building projects make walking through the room scarier than climbing 25' up in a tree, the markers and colouring books must always be within reach, add a dog bed, some dog toys, piles of books, a newpaper, tinsel that migrates from the tree to every room in the house, little boy hand prints and dog nose prints on the windows (snool).... School starts again next week!

Wow Maple, thats a pretty fancy discription for my Yooper brain to get wrapped around. Had to read it twice.....

You gonna decorate your house like that now Maple??

There you go Monica making cookies-in-the-oven memories for the rest of us.

What a happy looking home you have there, I know it's filled with love.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Maple - it is good. Although it's a little crazy here sometimes - could use a family room as our living room gets lots of living! I always tell people if they want to come see us they can drop by anytime, if they want to see the house I need 2 weeks notice!

Here are the cookies in the oven:

Hectichunter - as promised here are the close-up photos showing the gaps at the bases. Not something you'd notice unless you got up close. Tim decided against the rope or leather trim for now. As I posted before, the cover/cap could have been larger for this Ontario-size buck.

Look's to me like a nice, warm home

[hetichunter]

thank you vixchix. that gap does not look to bad. i agree your rack was probably bigger then what that particular kit was designed for. did tim have a hard time cutting out the circles correctly or is that pretty easy?

did tim have a hard time cutting out the circles correctly or is that pretty easy?

The material itself cuts easily with a sharp utility knife. Other than that I just started with undersized cuts and slowly enlarged them until they fit. I'm not the most skilled at that sort of thing so if I can do it anyone can.

Great looking mount job. You still have all the memories with much less cost.

.......the desk provides ample space for Tim And Monica's home and office chores. They've chosen a classic faux-stucco wall treatment in a stunning ruffed grouse beige, which is Lauren Bijou colour for 2010. Offset to the left, is a notable red on white floral tribute to "The Power of Women in Camo", of which Monica has been a proud and influential member since she was in her teens a few years ago. The easy curve of the Julianne crown moulding draws the eye upwards, to where Tim has cleverly postioned an impressive whitetail rack casting hauntingly intricate shadow branches above. The room fairly exudes the dew of dawns enchantment.

A daring feat rarely attempted by even the most apres-guarde designers is carried to perfection by these inspired partners. We hope to see more of their creations very soon......

Maple, that is absolutely hilarious! You know way too much about decor and decorating and that kinda scares me.

The mount looks great with that light!
Part of that buck was on our dinner plates tonight.
