    Looks good. Imp a n engraving of some sort would be nice below it. Just seems bare at the bottom.

    That was my concern. If the hide is still on the skull-plate, it WILL get bugs and become a real mess. Usually, on this type of mount, the hide is removed and the skull is covered with leather or felt, etc.
