I am going to do a euro mount for my Wyoming Antelope. This is my first attempt at doing a euro and so far the skull looks great. My question is in regards to the horn sheaths. I have washed them out in hot water and dawn and then packed them with borax and have let them sit for the past 5 days. They are still very stinky. How do you get the smell out? Or do I just need to be more patient and let them sit longer?
Also, I am looking for a plaque to mount the skull to and I have not found anything online that I like. I prefer a long narrow panel that mounts to the wall and from this, I like an attachment point coming out of the panel at a 45 degree angle. This gives the euro a 3-d look and I think it contrasts nicely against the panel. Most of the panels I see online have the long narrow panel coming out at a 45 degree angle and the skull sits on this. I don't really care for this look. (This probably makes no sense, I will post up a picture later.)
Thanks
