Ideas for Wood Duck Mounts

Wooden ducks work well in a variety of spaces in the home. Add a wooden duck mounted on your choice of material to your living room, kitchen or a casual entertaining space, such as a recreation or family room. Wood duck mounts also work in casual home offices, basement hobby rooms and in cabins and corporate offices. The style of mount you have formalizes (or informalizes) the wood duck mount.
  1. Metal Mounts

    • Give your wood duck a classy, elegant look by mounting it on a piece of brass, silver or even gold, depending on your budget. Gold or silver plate also work well as plated mounts cost considerably less than chunks of brass, silver or gold. Metal is an elegant material and works particularly well in offices or formal spaces.

    Wooden Mounts

    • Mounting your wood duck on a piece of wood is inexpensive and a tasteful, appropriate way of showcasing your decoration. Choose your kind of wood and have it shaped to your style and size preference. Mount several wooden ducks together on varying pieces of wood for an interesting display in your home. One of the major benefits of mounting your duck on a wood mount is that you can source your own wood from a nature walk or forest near your home. You can also recycle wood from existing objects in your home such as old coffee tables and bedside tables.

    Ceramic Mounts

    • Mount your wood duck on a ceramic cast and customize the cast with your choice of paint. This is a easy DIY project and you can select the size, shape and color of your cast. The end result produces a casual or formal mount, depending on the shape and colors of paint chosen.

    Glass Mount

    • Mount your wood duck on a piece of glass. Give the glass a unique look by having it frosted or having a pattern emblazoned in it by a glass artisan. A glass mount is elegant, works in any space and glass is typically not an expensive material. The potential for customizing the glass with a pattern of your choice is an additional benefit of opting for a glass mount.
