Salvaged velvet muley euro

Recommended Posts

So I had a small muley rack that was pretty much wrecked. I cut off the horns as a keepsake and wrote it off as a total loss.

On a whim I threw it out to Adam to see if he wanted to try and do something with it and he said he would give it a shot . We really had nothing to lose.

I grabbed a replica skull from my neighbor and sent it all over to Adam to do his work. Low and behold a few days later he calls with the bright idea of trying to put velvet back on it. Sure, why not.

after a few days he sends me some pics and darnit if he didn't do a pretty swell job of salvaging a throw away into a decent little wall hanger. Now this is nothing you would see on Houston's wall, but it fits just fine with my other poverty trophies. Besides, this was all about Adams work and not about the rack.

Thanks for the awesome work Adam!

From now on I am calling him Big Velvet instead of Big Browns!

Thanks for the compliments.  I had a lot of fun working on this project.  I had never applied artificial velvet before so I wasn't sure how it would turn out.  Overall, I'm EXTREMELY pleased with the results!

Yep.  I've been mounting a few ducks & Javelina for friends.  It's been a lot of fun learning a new skill.
