After tagging the buck I spent five days back on the farm to enjoy nature and dream up a plan for the buck. That’s when I think the best sitting in a tree stand
. I came up with a idea for a pedestal that was pretty neat and might use it for my next one if that ever happens but in the back of my mind there was something I’d seen that I was wanting but I couldn’t quite come up with it.
Later after getting home I dug around and found the picture but really put a different twist on the pedestal.
Calvin Swank of Reasnor Iowa made the pedestal and when I meet with him I said “I hope you’re good with wood”. He started to sweat and after laughing he said ya he could handle it.
I showed him the idea and he took over from there. He sent many sketches until both of us were happy. This was the first rough draft.
The planning stage took 2 months to make sure everything was thought out before the pedestal was started.
This was the final drawing before he started making the pedestal.
The wood is smooth hickory and the actual base is Corian and that part was done by my cousin that has a countertop business.
If anyone needs a pedestal here is the link. His craftsmanship is amazing and I trust he can make about anything you can dream up.

The deer had a lot of broken hair on his brisket but with deer most aren’t perfect. Due to the size of him a spare cape was never a option. Thanks for looking
