European African Mounting ideas?

[Huntforever]

I’m looking for some ideas on how to mount a bunch of European African skulls together or on a neat wood display. Ideas and pictures would be of great help!!

Seems like @gizmo had some on a tall shield with spears. Might ask him or search google

The whole continent of Africa comes to mind as a plaque to put a few to several depending on how big you have it made.

How many Euro mounts are you wanting to place on the board?

I did a quick random Google search. The site showed images of a central post with offset limbs extending out, on each limb is an individual mount.

Something similar to decorating a Christmas tree.

I'm really thinking of doing my next Buffalo like this one.

I love this mount; it's a lot closer to the way you actually see them, compared with the bird's eye view of the top of the boss that you get with a standard European mount on a buff. Plus it saves wall space.

The perfect buffalo Euro mount would be this one, with a .474 diameter hole dead center just above the eye line......

I was thinking of something I could place 8 to 10 animals on.

I was thinking of something I could place 8 to 10 animals on.

Then I think a 4" x 4" x 6' or 8' center post on a solid base, with limbs of 3" x 3" x 28", 36", 44" on opposite sides of the 4 x 4, evenly spaced top to bottom. Length would depend on sizes of center euro mounts and plaques. In front on the 4 x 4, 3 x 3 x 6", 12", 18" (depending on size of the largest horns and skulls of the euro mounts) evenly spaced apart and between the limbs holding the smaller euro mounts.

I'm no artist but this should give you the concept of what I'm describing:

The euro mounts plaques would be of appropriate size small to large, top to bottom.

Fits relatively nicely into a corner of a room, or along vacant wall space.

Of course this is just a basic design. It depends on the ceiling height, sizes and weights of mounts, how much of space is available, etc. etc. As a nice pedestal cabinet base could be used as a base.
