Sounds good to me. I think it looks classy, like a museum piece. The women I bring around are probably too urban to handle the normal 'bear head on the wall' mount. :dunno:

Metalizing
In 1999 Montana Skullworks started putting real metal on skulls. We were the first skull cleaning business to use and offer this process on skulls and consider our finished product to be the best. This is a patented cold process that uses metal and a polymer binder. It is applied in a very thin layer to preserve all detail and cut back on excess weight. After coating, the piece is sandblasted to remove oxides. A patina is then put on it which will turn the piece black. Afterwards it will be polished leaving the recessed areas black which will give the piece a cast look. We offer bronze and nickel-silver metals. There are others available but just give the same basic colors. If you are interested in another metal e-mail us.
After it is polished, a ceramic coating is put on. We have tried other coatings throughout the years and have found this one to be the best. It will put a hard and durable coating on the metal , that could actually stand up to the outside elements. Your skull will be transformed in to an art piece that will last a lifetime and look good in any décor.

Or you could do this using metal patterns like brushed aluminum.

I could be wrong but that dosent look like a metalized skull. There is a process called fossilizing which involves soaking skulls in tea or usually coffee and coffee grounds or other darkening agents. They can then be buffed, waxed or sprayed with a clear coat to get the glossy look. This is a Coyote skull done this way.I believe your right on that !!!! :tup:

That was my thought on seeing it also. It looked like one of those casts of a fossilized/tar pit type skull. It does look pretty cool though.
