Unique Projects

Custom dual shoulder mount by Antlers by KlausIf you can dream it, we can do it. Antlers by Klaus specializes in unique antler projects that demand creativity, skilled execution, and obsessive attention to detail. From display engineering to museum-quality finishing, we build one-off pieces that do not exist “off the shelf.”

Popular unique project requests include:

  • Custom trophy room centerpieces
  • Trade show and brand displays
  • Rotating pedestal mounts and special mechanisms
  • One-of-a-kind taxidermy presentation builds

What are “unique antler projects”?

Unique projects are custom builds that combine antler replication, taxidermy presentation, specialty fabrication, and finishing into a single, made-to-order result. These projects often require custom engineering, custom forms, or custom components because standard parts are not available.

Who is this custom service for?

This service is ideal for anyone who needs something truly different, including:

  • Hunters creating a trophy room statement piece
  • Brands, outfitters, and booths needing durable, high-realism display mounts
  • Museums and exhibit designers seeking accurate, display-ready replicas
  • Collectors commissioning heirloom-quality, one-off projects

What types of custom antler projects can you build?

We design and execute projects such as:

  • Custom pedestal mounts with specialized backings and finishes
  • Mechanized or rotating mounts for 360-degree viewing
  • Double-stacked or multi-mount trophy concepts
  • Custom transport solutions for large antler displays
  • Matched sets and commemorative presentation pieces

How does the unique project process work?

Every project is different, but the workflow is consistent:

  1. Consult and concept: You tell us what you want to build and how it will be displayed.
  2. Design and planning: We plan materials, structure, and finish goals.
  3. Engineering and fabrication: We build what does not exist in standard parts.
  4. Finishing: Detail work, surface prep, and high-realism painting and finishing.
  5. Quality check and delivery: Final review and secure handling for transport or shipment.

What do you need from me for a fast quote?

For the fastest and most accurate quote, send:

  • Clear photos (overall plus any special features or damage areas)
  • Species and any measurements you have
  • Approximate score, if known
  • Notes about the display goal and where it will live

Then contact us by phone or email and our team will guide the next step.

Example unique project: Driven TV rotating double-stacked pedestal mounts

For longtime friend Pat Reeve of Driven TV, we were contacted to create a one-of-a-kind project as a wedding commission. A matching set of double-stacked mounts was conceived, designed, and crafted for Pat and Nicole.

To elevate the build, the mounts were engineered to rotate 360 degrees, which required custom mechanical design, steel reinforcement, and careful balancing so the rotation stayed smooth and stable.

The replicated whitetails included Pat’s Illinois 192 3/8 net typical and Nicole’s two trophy bucks (including Saskatchewan and Illinois). Pat is widely credited with harvesting the largest typical ever on video, making the piece especially meaningful as a display centerpiece.

Finishing details included custom leather backs with laser-engraved harvest photos and the Driven TV logo, plus hand-laced leather edging and custom wood pedestals designed to match the Driven TV show booth.

Example unique project: Real Langlois Moose pedestal mount replica

Example unique project: Real Langlois Alaska-Yukon Moose pedestal mount replica
In spring 2011, the Real Langlois Alaska-Yukon moose was recognized as a Pope and Young world record at 249 1/8. Antlers by Klaus was honored to be selected as the replicator for this trophy.

Because pedestal mount forms for a moose of this magnitude did not exist, we developed and sculpted a custom form and created a uniquely shaped pedestal back with premium backing material.

For transport and display practicality, the replica horns were built with a metal pinning system so each antler side could be removed and reinstalled securely, with concealed receptors integrated into the head.

“The replica is magnificent and well worth the wait — congratulations to Klaus on a job well done — if I did not know that it was a replica I would never have guessed as it is identical to the original in every way. Many thanks for your friendly assistance.”
