Carved euros

[curtism1234]

Got sucked in a Facebook rabbit hole and noticed a website in Bali that sells carved skulls from cows, buffalo, rams, etc.

They looked interesting - what do you think?

I wonder if any taxidermists in the US or Africa do this type of work?

I’m not sure if Ironclad does it or they just did the clad. Looks very cool! I had him do a warthog skull in copper and it came out first class!

May be fine for some but looks pretty gaudy to me. I'll take mine plain, thanks.

No thanks.

like an elephant tusk, skulls are complete as-is. No amount of tinkering or carving can improve them.

Donpablo, there's a guy in Texas that does this also. He was on Facebook alot several years back. I don't remember his prices but I think they were slightly higher on the carving side. Not sure if he only carved or did the euro stuff also.

Nice. What do they charge?

The artists name is Yolandi Diesel she does work for Spitting Image and I'm sure other taxidermist. Prices vary, depending on skull and what you want done may be different between taxidermist.

My son is doing a impala and I am doing a warthog. I think splitting image charged me 500 USD each
