Deer Antlers/ Weekend fun

"He gives animals their food and feeds the young ravens when they call." Psalm 147:9

We completed the antler Project!! 

This one rattled our brain for a few days! We couldn't figure out how to cut the skull, and mount it, I knew I didn't want the old fashion mount with the mold, and the velvet, (gross). All I wanted was the simple antlers, on a black board!! Too much to ask?? Well we had to YouTube how to get the hair, flesh off the bone. So we started up the BBQ outside and boiled away! It peeled right off, we got really excited. Then John used his hack saw to get a flush back on the skull so we could mount it. 

It adds so much to the room John say's out of all our projects this one is his favorite! I now have one wall with my momma's horse picture, and Dad's antlers on the other! Love having pieces of them with me! 

Here are the mount boards I bought at Michaels 

John scrubbing the antlers, Thank God for such an amazing, helpful husband!
