Antlers are not included.
This is designed with your antlers still being attached to the skull plate. for ease of assembly. I recommend cutting the skull plate as small as possible.
If your antlers are sheds, or they have been removed from the skull plate you can purchase a shed antler mounting kit. My customers have used: "Mountain Mike's Reproductions Shed Spreader Antler Mounting Kit" it is available on amazon and many other online stores.
Wood grain/color will vary from item to item, I DO NOT CONSIDER SMALL WORM HOLES OR KNOTS/CRACKS TO BE DEFECTS IN THE WOOD. Rustic and weathered materials will likely have defects like: knots, cracks/checks, wormholes. Large Defects will be filled with epoxy and they will not affect the integrity of the piece.
