Claims1
A new and improved shed antler mounting kit for mounting shed antlers comprising:
- a replicated animal skull, said replicated animal skull has disposed thereupon first and second shed antler mounting bases wherein the first antler mounting base comprises a first flattened region having a centrally disposed first hole bored partially therethrough and furthermore said first hole has an axis substantially normally disposed to a surface defined by said first flattened region;
- the second shed antler mounting base comprises a second flattened region having a centrally disposed second hole bored partially therethrough and furthermore said second hole has an axis substantially normally disposed to a surface defined by said second flattened region;
- the first and second flattened regions having a centrally disposed first and second hole, and of consequence, the axis of said first hole and said second hole are symmetrically disposed in angular relationship and physical location about a plane passing through the skull replica and separating said skull replica into a right half and a left half;
- a plaquelike base member, said plaquelike base member comprising a plate having a contoured periphery thereof and having a dovetail tongue disposed substantially centrally thereupon wherein said dovetail tongue is aligned in a substantially vertical direction whenever said base member is hung for display;
- and
- an interface member joining the replicated animal skull and the plaquelike base member, said interface member comprising a substantially cylindrical wedge shaped solid with a profile of a right triangle wherein a first flattened surface thereof has a first dovetail slot disposed therein for engaging a dovetail tongue disposed upon a skull replica and a second flattened surface thereof has a second dovetail slot disposed thereon wherein said second dovetail slot engages a dovetail tongue disposed upon said plaquelike base member.
