Kudu & Oryx Mounts From Kowas Hunting Safaris Namibia

[Tim Blackwell]

Hi all, finally after a 2 1/2 year wait I've finished my Kudu and Oryx mounts from my awesome hunt in Namibia with Kowas Safaris in 2016. I don't really have room for them but will jam them somewhere! Initially the drawers were only makeshift pedestals but now I don't mind them....and they're functional I guess. Very happy to have them done, fantastic memories!

Cheers
Tim

Very nice and the kudu is really well done. It looks like it’s alive and on the look out

Very nice! Curios about the 2-1/2 year wait, was that by design or did you encounter some problems along the way?

A little from Column A, a little from Column B mate....

Unfortunately, Trophaendienste Taxidermy in Namibia destroyed all of our capes and we had to wait a further year to have them replaced, all well documented on here.

But the rest of the wait was on me.....as a Taxidermist my own mounts always get left for last....I'm the worst paying customer I've got haha

Cheers guys.

Very nice, I assume they are going either side of the bed, seeing as you used drawers for the base.

Thanks one and all for the kind comments. Very happy with the result, it was a lot of hard work.

Haha we'll see what the wife has to say about that

When money allows I'd like to have some custom pedestals built. But at the moment I'm spending it all hunting

Cheers

I like the idea of drawers, opening doors, wine rack, liquor cabinet, etc on the pedestal. Of course I’m a “form follows function” retired engineer.

Hmmmm...liquor cabinet......now you're talking

Well done! And I second the liquor cabinet idea!!

Well my Christmas gift to myself was a pair of custom built pedestal bases to finally finish these mounts. Delivered just in time on Christmas eve.

Very happy with the result. Just need more room now!!

Cheers
