Default A nice way to finish a euro mount skull

I saw this pic and think it would look nice on any game animal euro mount. It was the only pic there was. Looks like a bovine skull.

Wonder how strong it is? Looks great, but may be a bit fragile?

I have a cousin that does this sort of thing. It's not cheap.

Good way to ruin a nice mount .As always, beauty is in eye of beholder, and each to his own .

Not something I'd have done, but I can see the amount of time and skill that would have to go into it; and why it might appeal to some.
