Not a collectors item

Post by fineedge »

I was initially was not keen on this when the customer arrived with a cow's skull, but after suggesting mirrors to make it more interesting she left me to it and whereas I would not want to hang this in my lounge, she was over the moon with the result

I suppose if someone did want a cows skull hanging on the wall, that's the way to display it.

Top Job. :clap:

That looks very effective. Just out of curiosity, how far is the front of the frame from the wall?

It is the box that Robo dislikes so much - deep - the front of frame must be about 20 cm at least from the wall but if it hangs in a corner it won't be any problem - I hear from another client that her house is amazingly interesting so if I hear how and where it is hung I'll add it here.
