kirkjeremiah23 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Finally got around to prepping out and making a stand for the Hyracodon skull. It was in pretty rough shape and not complete, but I think it displays well. What are your guys thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ptychodus04 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Looks really good. I would suggest filling the extra holes with a putty that accepts stain and giving your oak plank a nice dark stain and clear coat to make the lighter bones really pop. 3 Regards, Kris Global Paleo Services, LLC https://globalpaleoservices.com http://instagram.com/globalpaleoservices http://instagram.com/kris.howe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirkjeremiah23 Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 You were plenty clear. I plan on staining and applying a clear coat to the base. Filling the holes with wood filler is something I havent thought of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
