One-of-a-Kind Taxidermy Bases

The taxidermy mounts at Whitetail Woodcrafters come in all shapes and sizes to suit your personal preference and space requirements. For instance, mount your favorite trophy animals on our octagon taxidermy pedestal mounts made from quality hardwood, or display your turkeys with our classic bird mounting plaques.

We also offer pyramid-shaped bases, arrowhead-shaped plaques, and even barn door panels for showing off your game perfectly in your home or weekend-getaway cabin. Handcrafted breast mounts, cape mounts, and oval taxidermy plaques with live edge designs are just some of our popular taxidermy base options for showing off your hunting trophies to the world.

Deer Pedestal Mounts for a Standout Display

A deer pedestal mount offers a bold, eye-catching way to show off your trophy. Unlike wall mounts that limit the view to one side, a pedestal lets you display your deer from multiple angles, highlighting the detail and beauty of your mount. Whether it’s a shoulder mount or a full sneak pose, pedestal mounting turns your harvest into a centerpiece.

At Whitetail Woodcrafters, we craft pedestal bases with care and quality hardwoods like oak, cherry, and walnut. These solid bases are made to last and support even the heaviest mounts. Many of our bases are customizable, so you can add a name, date, or design that makes the display even more personal.

Deer pedestal mounts are ideal for living rooms, offices, lodges, or trophy rooms—anywhere you want your mount to stand out. Choose from floor-standing bases or tabletop styles depending on your space. No matter which you go with, you’ll get a clean, professional presentation built to showcase your hunt for years to come.

If you’ve got a deer you’re especially proud of, a pedestal mount is the way to do it justice.

Taxidermy Mounts FAQ

What is a pedestal deer mount and when should I use one?

A pedestal deer mount is a freestanding display where the mount is set on a solid base instead of being hung on the wall. It’s a great choice when you want a more prominent presentation, like for a trophy buck or a centerpiece in your home or lodge.

How is a pedestal mount different from a traditional wall mount?

A pedestal mount gives you more flexibility in how you display your game—it can stand on the floor or on a table, and it allows for more detailed views from different angles. Wall mounts are more space-saving, but pedestal styles offer a bold, museum-quality look.

Do you offer custom taxidermy pedestal bases?

Yes, we offer a variety of taxidermy pedestal bases in different wood types and shapes, and many can be personalized with engraving. Whether you’re mounting a whitetail shoulder or a full-size bird, we can help you find the right fit.

Can I pair a plaque mount with a pedestal base?

In most cases, plaque mounts are designed for wall hanging, while pedestal mounts are built as standalone pieces. If you’re looking to repurpose a wall plaque for a pedestal setup, we recommend checking with us first to make sure the dimensions and balance will work safely.

Are your taxidermy pedestal bases made from real hardwood?

Yes, all of our taxidermy pedestal bases are crafted from solid hardwoods like oak, walnut, and cherry. They’re built tough and made to support heavy mounts for the long haul.

Can I use a pedestal deer mount in small spaces?

You can, but keep in mind that a pedestal deer mount takes up more room than a standard wall mount. If space is tight, consider a smaller tabletop base or choose a corner pedestal to make the most of your display area.
