WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SAY

“I gave a spalted maple skull keychain to my wife and she absolutely loves it! We really appreciate the high quality of craftsmanship and love the grain and unique character of the spalted maple wood. The photos looked good but it’s even better in real life.”

“My life size walnut wooden skull is unique and creative.  The quality of the wood, the grain and care in its production makes it a favorite in my office.  Highly recommended.”

JD

“We were very happy to find this company’s beautiful wooden skulls. We purchased the 8-inch walnut one for our son, who loves skulls. He LOVES his gift. We were all impressed with the quality of the craftsmanship, and the wood – it is really a Fine Art piece!

“The beauty of it inspired me to learn more about skulls, and particularly why the fascination by so many with them. I was surprised skulls symbolize so many diverse character traits that actually exemplify our son – intelligence, strength, courage, free-thinkingness… and a bit of rebelliousness, too!”

I am a huge skull lover. Wear them all the time and have them in my house on shirts and so forth. I love this wood skull I have. It is fits right in and it kills two birds with one stone as I like wood pieces.

The way it is made, it’s so spot on.   It’s smooth and makes me feel like it’s a real one sitting on my desk. Seems like it fits right in place.

Love it and I get comments all the time as to how cool it is.
