I wonder if a deer skull could be done the same way

That's really neat. I'm sure I've seen those sorta things before but didn't realize they were actual skulls. I like the way yours makes the baboon's teeth really stand out; I bet it'd look amazing with a big cat or a hyena done the same way!

It would make an awesome hood ornament! Can they bronze on with its mouth open?

Elk skull with the antlers all across the grille on a 60s Cadillac? One-up the Texans with the bull horns on theirs.

Yes.

@Rum Runner are you allowed to keep that on the kitchen table?

I haven’t been close to a Baboon but I recon a Warthog done that way would be cool.

Do they do it in Australia I wonder?

Very cool. There are several options of the type of metal to use. I think copper looks fantastic.

Displaying the baboon is a lot like the entire trip...I didn't ask...

Wow. Ive seen those but thought they were sculptures not plated real skulls.

I’m getting my baboon full mounted but might do the skull in metal and attach it to an Africa wood plaque

Some day I hope to take three baboons to mount as "the three mystic apes"

Excellent idea. I'm doing a DIY for a Lichtenstein's Hartebeest. I looked into getting some true African wood for the plaque. Like, Ebony. It's a little spendy$

I might be spelling it wrong but I had a pedestal made out of Wenge. It is a beautiful wood and harder than Chinese arithmetic.

Here is another example of a bronze warthog.
I had it done in Denver Colorado by Ironclad Metals. They do multiple types of metal.

Definitely like it better when the teeth are removed before the bronzing.

Even if I never go on safari, I'd love to have a collection of skulls and skeletons, real or replica. They're great for showing off animal anatomy and they're great conversation pieces.
