I have a turkey mounted on a habitat base and would like to get a pedestal to sit it on. is there a place to buy pedestals or anyone have any ideas...? the taxidermist I use just had a couple plain ones looking for something unique
Hard to say without seeing the mount.
I know a guy who used an old corner pole & braces from a barbed wire fence that hadn't been functional in a long time to mount his bird on. Both the bird & fence section came from his lease.
I know another guy who cut a section of a tree that runs floor to ceiling and he has a couple of birds mounted on branches of the tree. One is resting and the other is in strut. It sits in a corner of his hunting cabin & it looks pretty good. It takes up a bit of space, but it is unique. I'll see if I can find pictures.

If you use something that was upside previously be sure n bug proof it before it goes inside or on any finished piece
I can make you one,,,,, i'm a cabinetmaker and I have made these before. I can saw and cut the parts for you and than you just glue it together. it would save on shipping..
I have my osceola sitting on about a 3' tall cypress stump. Eastern is on big live oak stump, and Goulds is on a section of ponderosa pine. Not easy to find, but they look cool

Got any pictures? I have deer mounted on barn wood planks that came off my lease. Currently have a Merriam's sitting on a table in need of some type of stand. Also have two Rio's in the freezer I need to something with.
