This all started by Dad taking my sister and I out hunting,
and we shot a big 11 pointer stag.
The head wasn't really a record for our farm but I thought it would be cool to have a mount in my room.
So, when we were cutting up the stag I decided to skin the stags head.Man I really thought that this was a privilege.
Firstly we boiled the head in a large pot, so there was no meat left on the head.
Then there was one last thing to do it was probably one of the hardest things, the shield.
We had three options of wood, I choose plywood because it is really easy to work with and you don't have to do as much sanding.
Lastly I stained the wood with a rimu coloured stain.
Below is the head, which I have to mount on a shield.
