Plaques for my Trophy

[Leecher]

Guys,

 

It's been some time since I could work on my trophy project and last night went to Rona and bought a Pine edge glued panel 11/16" x 16" x 36" made by Brico Pano. I thought I'd buy tongue and groove pieces of pine but could not find any thick enough for what i wanted so this piece I found just satisfied my likings.

 

This morning, started to work on the template because the one I had was not big enough..... here a pic of the two

 

 

The blue is the one I had for the smaller racks but had to make a bigger one. Got to work and this is the results

 

 

I laid down my trophy on it just to get a feel for what it was to look like..... and this is the results

 

 

Since the piece of pine I've bought was big enough, why not make a couple more

 

 

Now I have to figure out where I'm going to hang it on my trophy wall.... the wife won't accept that I put it above the fireplace and this is the only wall I can hang it amongs the others

 

 

Roy, TJ, Spiel the other two plaques are available for the auction if need be and will ship them at no cost to the highest bidder.

My Christmas gift to me is almost finish and real proud of it

Hope you enjoy!

Aye stun beau travail d'artisan!

 

Shame it had to be pine and not birds eye for such a presentation. The light wood exentuates the dark of the antlers well though.

Thanks HD.... Pine is the only wood that I can find at a lower cost and it's easy to cut, router and sand down.

Real proud of it

Thanks Cliff I like the results and this trophy is my pride and joy. The eye is nothing like the ones at Bay of Quinte but is the biggest I caught
