    I made this for first archery buck. It is also my first buck in Arkansas. The taxidermist wanted $75 to make one similar. I used wood salvaged from a pallet, some stain left from another project. Glue and stain dried over night, other than that, it only took about two hours of work.

    Nice buck and the plaque looks great! Nice way to do it. Now you can make them and charge $65 a piece!
