A trophy from the field already tells a story. The early mornings, the patience, the excitement of success. When it comes time to display that moment at home or in your lodge, the presentation should reflect the pride behind the hunt. Custom taxidermy plaques are a simple upgrade that completely transforms how your mount looks on the wall.
At Big Sky Woodcrafters, we craft plaques that honor both the hunt and the hunter. Each piece is made from real American hardwood and built with care by a Veteran Owned business that understands the value of your achievements.
A Better Way to Display Your Trophy
A plain mount might blend into the background. A handcrafted plaque gives your trophy the spotlight. A well-designed plaque adds structure and style. It also helps preserve the mount over time. Most importantly, it creates a finished display that feels worthy of the memory attached to it.
When guests walk by, they will notice the entire presentation, not just the antlers or skull. A beautiful plaque helps your story come through.
Quality Materials for a Lifetime of Display
There is a real difference when you choose solid hardwood over inexpensive imports or pressed board. Big Sky Woodcrafters uses premium species that look incredible and hold up for years. Hunters love walnut for its bold and dark grain. Cherry brings a warm, classic look. Maple and oak add brightness and durability. Every option offers its own character, so you can match the mount and the room where it will be displayed.
Designs That Fit Your Style
There is no one size fits all when it comes to taxidermy displays. That is why we offer shapes and styles that go beyond the basics. From traditional shield designs to unique ovals or state shaped plaques, you can choose a look that reflects the hunt. We also create custom shapes tailored to the specific mount, so everything lines up perfectly.
Personal Details Make the Difference
A custom plaque gives you the chance to include the details that matter most. Many customers choose to engrave the date of the hunt, the location, or the name of the hunter. Some include artwork or symbols related to the season or species. These personal touches help you hold onto the full experience rather than just the finished mount.
Proudly Made in the USA
Craftsmanship and customer service are at the heart of what we do. Since 1994, Big Sky Woodcrafters has been building plaques and displays that collectors and taxidermists trust. Everything is produced here in America, using skilled woodworking techniques that give each plaque a polished, professional finish. When you choose American made, you support a company that values quality as much as you do.
A Trophy That Stands Out
Whether you brought down a once in a lifetime buck or you are adding a new memory to the collection, the right display brings the hunt back to life. A custom hardwood plaque ensures your mount takes center stage and looks just as impressive as the day you earned it.
