Finished barrel heads with skull hook for mounting most skulls (specifically good for deer skulls). You can also use the head for other things like wall art (can laser an image on there), center piece, lazy Susan, etc.
The strap is screwed on, the wood is finished with 3 layers of a poly blend finish, and I install a plywood backer to keep the piece real solid.
Barrel Head only $100
Skull hook +$3
Bison skull mounted to barrel head (pictured) $445
