Title: got my cat skull back
Post by: bigben on November 18, 2010, 07:23:19 AM
I just picked my cat skull up from a buddy of mine that does the skulls using beatles.  if you guys dont remember I killed this cat back in january of this year.

he went 30 lbs.  after taking the cat to the taxi I told him that I wanted the skull to get done.  I dropped it off at my buddies three weeks ago and here is the final result.

sorry for the crappy cell phone pic but I think your used to them cell phone pics.  I have had three skulls done by my buddy.  He has done a great job on all of em and he has pretty good prices.  if anyone wants the web address I can get it to ya.

That is cool!! I usually just take mine out and burry  them in the garden and dig them up after a few months. That beetle thing is the way to go. Lots nicer job than I get.

its in the process of being turned into a full body mount.  once the mount is done I will post pics.  the post is somewhere in the predator hunting part of the forum here.  go back to mid january this year and you'll find the story.

freeze it and stick dry ice in there and then ship at the start of the week.  I drive em down to him since he is only a half hour away.
