Services & Process

Euro mounting involves stripping a skull of all tissue, whitening the bone, and presenting the finished skull with antlers or horns attached, creating a striking minimalist display. B & B likely handles deer, hog, elk, and other game skulls common to Arkansas hunting seasons. The maceration or beetle-cleaning process used by dedicated euro shops produces cleaner results than boiling, preserving bone integrity and natural texture. Customers typically bring in fresh skulls or full heads, and the shop handles the rest from prep through final presentation.

Service Area

B & B Euro Mounting serves hunters throughout the Mabelvale area and the greater Little Rock metro region. Customers from Benton, Bryant, and surrounding Saline and Pulaski County communities make the short drive for their euro mount work. The central Arkansas location makes it a convenient stop for hunters coming off trips in the Ouachita foothills.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a euro mount?
A euro mount displays the cleaned and whitened skull of an animal with its antlers or horns still attached, without any skin or hide. It's a popular alternative to a traditional shoulder mount because it's more affordable and works well in modern home or cabin settings.
How soon after the hunt should I bring in my deer skull?
You should bring it in as soon as possible, ideally within a day or two of harvest. Decomposition starts quickly, especially in warm Arkansas weather, and a fresh specimen is much easier to process cleanly.
Can you do a euro mount on animals other than deer?
Yes, most euro mount shops work on a wide variety of species including hogs, elk, coyotes, and exotics. It's best to call ahead and confirm they accept the specific species you're bringing in.
How long does a euro mount take?
Turnaround times vary depending on the shop's current workload and the method they use, but most euro mounts are completed within two to six weeks. Beetle cleaning takes longer than maceration but often produces a cleaner result.
How do I display a finished euro mount?
Euro mounts can be hung on a wall using a skull bracket or mounted on a wooden plaque or driftwood base. Many hunters also display them on shelves or pedestals, making them very versatile for different spaces.
Does the whitening on a euro mount fade over time?
The whitening can yellow slightly over many years, especially with direct sunlight exposure. A light reapplication of whitening agent or a UV-protective clear coat can keep it looking fresh for a long time.
