How To Easily Create Plaques & Taxidermy Mounts With Router Templates 

Thanks. A totally obvious application for these templates, not sure why we didnt introduce them earlier.

I actually had started designing one then figured people would like the Euro Deer version better. I assume you mean like a "stone chiseled arrow head", something more aboriginal and organic right? Anyone else here looking for that design?

@@CraftedElements Yes! The stone chiseled arrowhead would be awesome in my opinion. Alot of people are hydro dipping the skulls these days and the ability to make a cool resin arrowhead plaque with resin would definitely take the mounts to the next level.

@@markcanady5737 That sounds gangster. I love watching hydro dipping videos. I have yet to try myself. What size are you looking for BTW. And are you looking for a template or a mold? You reference solid resin, so I just want to be clear.

@@CraftedElements Lol! Gangster indeed 8.5'''X14.5''' is just about the perfect size for Whitetail Euro mounts. I would buy both. The template and the mold. I'm sure they would become a best seller once people saw what could be done with your product if you decide to make it. You create nice things Shawn !! Edit. Looking at your site, some of your smaller molds you sell already could make some cool table bases for the mounts The possibilities are endless!!

Thanks for saying so! Make sure you subscribe to our channel and you can catch all the new videos.

Hmmm... Seems like it would be cool, but its tough. We try to avoid infringing on IP. A punisher skull would most definitely be an IP issue. Would be fine for a person to make fan art, but it might not make an ideal template.

Hardwoods are best, but you could use pine, MDF, etc.

@@CraftedElements ok. Though I made inquiries and was told it's difficult using the router on mdf. I was told the bits wear easily

Thanks Owen. I will add that to our list.

I should have a 14x7" ribbon template on the site in the next day.

@@CraftedElements ordered it today along with a few others. Thanks for making it so quickly.

@@owenharris6612 Awesome! Much appreciated.

It was likely total boat wood honey to finish these. The router table could be anything, the one we use in this video is a $250 unit, nothing fancy. Thus, I dont have specific recommendations.

It's not stain, its a food safe oil called TotalBoat WoodHoney by @TotalBoat

@@CraftedElements Sorry you were talking so fast I couldn't understand you. But I thank you for replying back and letting me know

@@dreamlookautodetailingauto3353No need to apologize, sometimes I do talk so fast. I don't want to talk to slow and loose peoples interest! But clearly I need to work on Clarity.

@@CraftedElements I thank you again for your replies and totally understand.. Didn't know of you templates until I stumbled/came across your video by accident. Love the templates. So the Honey wood oil, Is this a product I can buy at Home depot or Lowe's or a wood supply company? I did notice it on Amazon but it's gonna take a few days to arrive if I order.

If I wanted to paint the edge of the board do you think paint would stick to the wood honey. Or maybe it would be best to paint around it first and then put the wood honey on. Thoughts? @@CraftedElements

Yes, you can use whatever material you'd like.
