Wow, what an interesting looking skull! It must have huge jaw muscles considered how it looks like. Very nice carvings too, looks a bit dragon-ish mixed with tribal. How do you get all the skulls?

Many carnivores have huge jaw muscles that make up most of the top of their heads; I don't want any of them to bite me. :)

I get skulls from several places: The Bone Room (a store in my area), taxidermists I have found on deviantART (such as Zhon and Morrokko), eBay, people (including myself) who find them in the wild, and people who get them from unknown places and have me carve them.

Haha, that's true! :XD:

I see! I live in Sweden so I suppose maybe getting them from internet would be easiest then. :hmm: It would be cool to have a nice animal skull of some kind. :)

Fishers are related to weasels.

It was specifically requested as a commission. I'd seen pictures of fishers, but I hadn't seen a fisher skull until I had to get (and carve) this one for a client (who is a ferret owner).
