Can you tell me how you achieved the look of it? We're currently painting the backing white and wanted to know if you just sanded the knotty pine until the shiny polyurethane came off or if you had some other trick up your sleeve :) LOVE your blog, follow your insta and LOVE all of your DIY projects! Best, Autumn!

And ...I'm with Kristen, how did you mount them?<br />And just cause I'm plainly curious- do you mean the entire skulls were still attached, and you sawed them off? The finished product is pretty great! I do love how perfect they are for that high space, especially with their varied sizes.<br /><br />Brittany's burlap covered deer antlers sound really cool too. Brittany, I'm also in the TX Hill Country, do you have a blog with pictures we could see of your burlap antlers?Krystal Wight Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16310610382345882173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222684610127747768.post-29363043625743721162012-11-14T06:23:46.407-08:002012-11-14T06:23:46.407-08:00Holly,

(Despite much prodding from friends)My Mom has a lake house in the hill country outside of Austin, TX and my kids and I search for deer antlers and have some great finds. I too have scraped skin and hair off of a skull and thought the very same thoughts you have. I then, still unhappy with the skull color, painted it a matte black for contrast and was not pleased. So,now mine hang in the dining room with a skull covered in burlap. I love them. I just cut the burlap to shape and literally glued it on. Great to see that I'm not the only one with these crazy ideas to make a project work. People love them now. Stay inspired and keep doing what you do.
