    I actually had started designing one then figured people would like the Euro Deer version better. I assume you mean like a "stone chiseled arrow head", something more aboriginal and organic right? Anyone else here looking for that design?

I'm sure they would become a best seller once people saw what could be done with your product if you decide to make it. You create nice things Shawn !! Edit. Looking at your site, some of your smaller molds you sell already could make some cool table bases for the mounts The possibilities are endless!!

    Hmmm... Seems like it would be cool, but its tough. We try to avoid infringing on IP. A punisher skull would most definitely be an IP issue. Would be fine for a person to make fan art, but it might not make an ideal template.

    It was likely total boat wood honey to finish these. The router table could be anything, the one we use in this video is a $250 unit, nothing fancy. Thus, I dont have specific recommendations.
