If you have become the owner of an elk horns and want to decorate them with the wall, issuing yourself, you will have 1) to make a stand, 2) to process the horn itself and 3) consolidate it on the stand. There is a lot of ways to implement every stage of work, I will tell you and show - as I do.
1.
Form, sizes of a wooden stand - a matter of personal taste, fantasy and opportunities. In this case, I use the image of the moose head, but instead there can be a simple neatly treated plank or a wooden medallion in the form of a heraldic shield.
I cut out from the Watman painted silhouette of the mowing head, I buzz him with a pencil on the board and cut out the electroll bison. The drawing can be done immediately on the blackboard, or cut the silhouette immediately without a picture - to whom it is more convenient.
On the reverse side of the workpiece drill fasteners. 
On the facial side I cut the relief and the place of attachment of the horns increase, gluing the cry. 
With the help of the ESM, he sharp the surface of the dice, giving the plane a small tilt back. I mark the borders of the contact of the horns with a tree and define the place of holes. Drill two holes with a diameter of 8mm. 
2.
The end end of the horns align with the ush email with grain 40. Then the plane was treated tightly to the place of fastening on the stand and, using finished holes as guides, drill holes in the end of the horns. One hole - for the fastening bolt, the other is for a stopper, preventing the horns of the horns under its own weight when drying wood. In principle, enough of one mounting hole, and turning can be prevented by gluing. But for the convenience of transporting it is desirable that the product is folding, and then the stopper helps.
Next - 10mm by the thread in the bolt hole in the bolt, and scoring a stopper cut from a metal 8mm-rod to another hole. 
Now that dirty work behind, you need to extort from dirt and wash the horn. The point would seem reliever, but there is important nuances. If you want the horn to save its natural color, do not use for washing soda, washing powder, metal brush. Quite warm water and a simple degreasing means for washing. 
But an example of how ignorance can be overdoing with theft of horns. 
And, before you start directly to the mount, it remains to drill a hole under the bolt to 10 mm and cover the tree impregnation. In this case, I used the Mahagon shade tool. In the photo it is not seen, but immediately the flaws of grinding immediately became, - all small scratches appeared, unnoticed earlier on a bright background. And the effect, which gave the type of wood texture of wood, beat. 
3.
Well, now, when the details are ready, I insert the horn to the lock in the lock hole, with back side - I ride into the recess of the puck of 28mm and the end key twisting the bolt 80x10mm. If you rearrange, tightening the bolt, wood can crack. The stopper eliminates the need to attract the horn as close as possible.
If you are too lazy or there is no possibility to cut the thread, you can attract the horn and a depth. But I have pleahari several times broke, and deciding that it is not the best way Save time and strength, I preferred bolts. 
As I have not yet mastered the oils, waxes and other delights, then I'll just block the product with three layers of a yacht varnish and put a photo to the gallery.
Thank you for your attention and I will be glad if the masters will indicate me for mistakes and enrich the material amendments and additions.

Stands for fixing horns can be made of different types and forms. Stand material can be made of birch or birch cab. When dealing, it should be taken into account the size of the stand is proportional to the trophy horns. The stand material is dry wood without damage and intact birds and insects.
Finished stands It is possible to handle paints in dark brown or light light periodically thin surface before the appearance of mattness.
Speaking about medallions, they are mainly used under large horns for example a large moose, a deer or wild ram. The basis for the medallion is used more durable materials - Beech, Birch, Oak. Also should be taken into account the form of the medallion they must correspond to the size of the trophy horns and harmonize with the surrounding interior.

Traditionally, horns roeli, deer and elk are considered one of the best hunting trophies. The presence of horns on the wall indicates the reputation of the hunter itself. In addition, trophies will give the room a special charm. However, this is possible only if the installation is carried out correctly. Judging by numerous reviews, most novice hunters do not know how to hang the moose horns on the wall. In this case, there are their nuances that should be known. About how to adapt your hands on the wall of the horns of the horns, a deer and moose, you will learn by reading this article.
First of all, you need to get horns. They can be found in the forest, but they, judging by the reviews, they often have a sufficiently unattractive look. It is best if it is a horns mined on the hunt or purchased. Before starting to install, they are carefully processed in boiling water, then bleached and degreased. It is more expedient to entrust this work to professionals.
The one who does not know how to hang an elk horns on the wall, experts recommend first to decide what it will be hanging. For example, you can hang all the head of the mined beast, and you can - only the horns.
Therefore, weighing trophies will be different. In this regard, homemade craftsman will have to decide what kind of fastening it is to choose. Mostly catch the horns on a small plate.
For this, the horns are drilled and insert into their base a large pin with chopped threads. Next, with its help, the trophy is screwed into the board and hang on the wall. You can also use a metal profile. In this case, the table is not needed, since the profile itself will be attached to the wall. However, the first method is the most common. About how to hang a horn of moose on the wall, more detailed further.
In order to hang the horns on the wall, you need to get the following tools:
Very part of the beginners who do not know how to hang the horns of the moose, are interested in how to choose what drill. According to experts, decide on cutting nozzle simply. It is necessary to proceed from the size of the bolt itself and the tap. Next takes out a thread step. For example, if the metal drill is used 8 x 1.25 mm, then it turns out 6.75 mm. However, this indicator is applicable to work with metal surfaces. Since the horn is softer, you can use a smaller drill - 6.3 mm.
First of all the horns should be equipped with a special hole under the heel. Work will be on the workbench, equipped with plumbing visits. If the homemade craftic does not have this tool, then its clamps will be helped.
When the horns are securely fixed, you can proceed to drilling. If the material hangs out, the hole will not work in the place where it is necessary. In order for the vice did not damage the processes, a plate is installed between horns and sponges. At this stage, it is important that the drill is in a vertical position and did not change the specified direction. Next, with the help of taps, a thread is cut. Specialists advise work with two tags. It is necessary to start a draft with a sharp tip and one risk, and complete - finish with a blunt tip and two notches. Pretty threads are cut with special gates.
If the homemade craftsman wants to save, it can replace the branded gorotok by a regular horn key. For example, with a M8 tier operate with 4 x 5 mm keys. What depth should be a hole, the wizard decides, based on how horns have. If the trophy weighs decently, the hole should be deep. The optimal is the length of at least 4 cm. Then proceed to screwing the studs, it is desirable that it should be screwed to the stop without stock.
At this stage, the length of the hairpins protruding from the horns should be measured. Exactly on the same depth in the wall should be made. Then, determining the place where the trophy will hang, start work. A 10 mm anchor is inserted into the resulting hole, its screw is unscrewed and its size is determined. It must correspond to a stiletto protruding from the horns. If necessary, part can simply sprill. Immediately before installing the trophy applied to the wall and look like it is adjacent to it.
With ancient times, the hunt was one of the main ways of human survival. She gave food and clothing. In addition, ancient people believed that the trophies mined on the hunt would drive evil spirits and protect their owner from various troubles, so people decorated themselves with fangs, teeth, parts of horns and skins of killed wild animals. But, with the development of progress, such aspects of this ancient occupation have undergone expressive changes. The hunt has become more hobbies, sports, way to get a trophy to confirm your consistency. Here we will talk about modern hunting trophies.

But, with the development of progress, such aspects of this ancient occupation have undergone expressive changes. The hunt has become more hobbies, sports, way to get a trophy to confirm your consistency. Here we will talk about modern hunting trophies.
The current hunters practically do not adorn themselves with amulets, but it is a trophy more often even than the mined meat, are a direct goal of hunting. Today there is a huge number of ways to highlight the skins, not only traditional, but also using various chemicals and modern technologiesThat the manufacture of stuffed, skulls and decorative skins brings good income to masters and craftsmen-taxidermists.
There is another aspect of modern hunting - rehabilitation of species and expanding the populations of wild animals, for which the shooting of patients and weak individuals are organized, of which they make stuffed to study animals and birds. Also, such material is of great importance for veterinary medicine.
Hunting trophies also have a status value and with an increase in the interest of financially secured people to them, recently exhibitions and contests are increasingly being held, in which holders exhibit their exhibits from home collections.
At first, the assessment of trophies was carried out practically without rules - the exhibits were estimated visually in size, form and "like / don't like". And only in 1920, a number of European countries - Austria, Germany, and Hungary have developed a single system for assessing a number of trophies. In subsequent years, this system was repeatedly improved, became increasingly objective. Nowadays are also constantly introduced innovations, there are many national assessment rules. For a number of trophies, a system of discounts and allowances of points have been created.
For example, surcharges are charged for the presence of some characteristic features, and discounts for their absence. There are also exhibitions of abnormal trophies.
Uncharacteristic features are the different length of the hornyness of horns, congenital or damaged damage during the hunt. The valuation scale of trophy is based not only on the definition of its size, but also originality, beauty and quality of performance. The latter depends on both physical data of the extracted animal, on the conditions of its habitat and the literacy of the processing of trophy and the mastery of the manufacturer.
One of the first arrangements of the rules for the estimation of trophies in Russia became the book "The Provisional Provision for Hunting Trophores, Ministed on the territory of the USSR".
One of the important rules - trophies of those species of animals, in which the hunt is prohibited is prohibited to be submitted at exhibitions, unless the owner can provide documents that the trophy has been mined prior to the introduction of a hunting ban.
From thousands of trophies that are produced annually from domestic hunters as in the territory of the Russian Federation, the horns of empty animals are considered the most valuable, noble deer, raisins, and large antelopes. In our country there are just fantastic collections. And the most luxurious and interesting is the collection that it discharged from year to year. Apotheosis of such a collection is a skull with the horns of this beast. Naturally, the hunter is interested in the beast to live the longer and gets it when comes the time of natural death.
To be guaranteed to get a high-quality trophy, it is necessary at the stage of preparation for the hunt. First, you need to choose the right place of hunting, because most of Skur and head is damaged during transportation.
Secondly, the literacy of the cutting and initial processing is of great importance. We will tell about it in detail in the future.
And now a few generally accepted rules for the preparation of trophies in the presentation. The exposition species is one of the decisive factors to evaluate the trophy. The trophies treated and prepared for the exhibition are installed on special stands, which are called medallions or cartouchers. They can have a different form - a circle, oval, shield. But, the condition is that this medallion should not attract more attention than the object located on it - like large moose horns or. The dimensions are selected taking into account the size of the trophy and its mass, the thickness can be from 1 to 2.5 centimeters. For trophies of small sizes, carved supports are used more often.
The tree of wood should also be harmonized with the object itself.
The interior and furniture of that room are also taken into account, where this trophy will be placed. Most often choose black or brown color Stands, or make firing and covered with varnish. The most suitable breeds are coniferous, oak, birch, aspen, beech. Very picturesque looks like a stand from a birch hill or a circle. Polished tree is applied less often. The workpiece must be good to sand, burn, treat the verse, and varnish most often after the installation of the fasteners of the horns.
The deer and roeble are more likely hanging on the wall, and do not put horizontally on the medallion. An important rule is for the exhibition or evaluation of the horns, as well as kaban fangs, other animals, should be easily removed and installed back to the medallion.
For fastening heavy horns in the skull, 4 holes are drilled, for the lungs - 2.
Separately, it should be said about the features of the manufacture of a stand for branners.
The difficulty lies in the fact that the horns are large, heavy and curved. Therefore, the stand must have a special form. If it is impossible to fasten the horns in this way - they are suspended on a strong cord or on the wall, or on the ceiling. Another option for fastening strongly curved horns is to cut the stand from a thick piece of logs, but at the same time the angle of spilling the upper part should not exceed 30 degrees.
Stands-medallions are used for demonstration. They are attached symmetrically, the top, on the left and right are located in the center. For the possibility of measuring their size (in particular, the girth), it is necessary to leave the gap of about 1 mm in height from the stand. For fastening the fangs apply rims from non-ferrous metals, bones, wood. For example, cut from a copper plate with a thickness of up to 0.5 mm narrow strips that grab fangs in several places.
On the medallion it is customary to indicate the name of the animal, the location and year of the production of trophy and the FIO of the hunter.
Before you send a trophy to the exhibition or place it in the home collection, it passes and is released: the skins are cleaned, etched poisons from pests and fungi, the skulls are digested and whiten, the horns are polished.
How to make independently primary production processing - we will tell in detail with recipes in the future. And also, about the manufacture of stuffed.
After primary processing, the trophy is given to Taxidermist, which creates a real work of art from it. Whatever a trophy you choose, I need to remember that the process of its manufacture requires a large patience and painstaking work. Therefore, such products are very expensive. But the aesthetic pleasure and pride, received from the contemplation of this creation of nature and human hands, will justify all the efforts and means.
To begin with, it is worth saying that the moose horn medallion is used as an ornament or stored in the form of trophy and reminders of successful hunting. At first glance, you might think that this thing is quite easy to do. But this is not the case, if, of course, do not know the features and nuances. Such peculiar trophies can be bought or do it yourself. The main thing is to have a lot of time on this hobby. This article will talk about how to handle elk hornswith a medallion. The process is quite entertaining.
How to handle the horns of the moose with their own hands?
The whole algorithm is not so difficult. All work begins with the fact that the preparation should be available. Skull with attached horns. Such things can either make it yourself or order in the store. Types of horns will depend on the wishes of the client. In addition, you will need tools:
This is actually the basic tools required when working.
The process itself begins with the main part of the skull cut off with a saw for metal. It is important not to forget to leave a small circle on which the horns are attached. If the slice plane turned out uneven, then this can be easily fixed on the grinding machine. The horns, if there are flaws, can be corrected on the same installation or walk the drill with a special nozzle to get a smooth surface.
Medallions under the horn of moose
After the preparation of the skull and horns should make a blank for a medallion. To do this, fold a piece of paper or cardboard in half and cut the necessary shape. After that, everything is transferred to the tree and cut with a jigsaw. After this edge can be milling on a special machine. The form is asked which little soul. All this business is limited only to its fantasy. After the workpiece accepted the optimal view of it must be pasted. The peculiarity is that it should be done from the largest emery paper to the small one. You can stop on the pettyness of 320 grid. On this business with a medallion is still finished. It is worth noting that you can in advance buy medallion for power horns .
How to fix the moose horns on the medallion?
It is worth saying that in the skull there is a notch. In this regard, it is necessary to close it for a more dense compound with the medallion. It is necessary in order to secure the horn themselves on the medallion. An ordinary white piece of paper takes and crimp in the excavation. Then, on the tree, this leaflet will be burned and the disc rolls on the contours. It is honed in such a way that it is perfect in the removal of the skull. After everything came out, it should be collected on the machine. This is applied either epoxy or special auto-putty. Surplus can be removed by anything. Ideal will be an option associated with a grinding machine. Then the whole blank with horns is put on the front of the medallion, and from the back of it all this is fastened with self-draws. Their size should be chosen there not to drill horns or skull. It will be unlikely to drill with a drill hole and already twist the screws in them. This will make a little easy process.
Actually, that's the whole process of creating medallion for moose horns. It remains only to come up with a way to mount on the wall. It can be either fixing screws, or hanging on any thread. Do not, however, forget that the way it should be reliable and withstand the weight of the entire medallion.
The most important thing is patience.
