Dead Mount Preparation

[Deleted member 40394]

I am now prepared to kill some ducks to go on my dead mount pieces I just made. Well I have 3 mallards in the freezer but that’s just the start of it.
my plan is one for puddle ducks and one for divers.
The wood is from my Grandmas old farm homestead which my parents live on the property now. I saved some barnwood off an old barn that is falling apart after 80+ years.

I just got my first dead mount ducks this year. Wish I would have done more of my birds that way.
Back board is just cedar fence boards stained with vinegar/steel wool.

just saw your post about dead mounts-the turkey one Was for a guy and was built a specific size. The others are hanging around my shop, I need to add a snow goose to the one if I ever get around to it
