The name makes the focus clear: skull work and creative display pieces are front and center here.

Quality skull work involves careful degreasing, whitening, and finishing so the final piece is odor-free, bright, and structurally sound. European mounts, where the cleaned skull and antlers are displayed on a plaque or panel, have grown significantly in popularity and cost considerably less than full shoulder mounts. King's Skullz and Kreationz likely also offers custom habitat displays and antler mounting, creating pieces that go beyond a standard wall hanger into something more artistic and personalized.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a European skull mount?
A European mount displays the cleaned skull and antlers of a deer or other horned or antlered animal on a simple plaque or backing, without any skin or form. It's a clean, modern look that many hunters prefer and it costs significantly less than a traditional shoulder mount.
How do you whiten a deer skull without damaging it?
Professional taxidermists typically use hydrogen peroxide gel or powder to whiten skulls, applied carefully to avoid softening the bone. Boiling in bleach water is a shortcut that can damage delicate bone structure and is generally avoided by quality providers.
Can I bring in shed antlers for a custom display?
Yes, shed antlers are a great option for custom displays since you don't need a harvested animal. A taxidermist can mount sheds on decorative plaques, incorporate them into habitat scenes, or create matched pair displays if you have both sides.
How long does skull cleaning take?
The timeline depends on the method used and the size of the skull. Beetle colonies, which many professionals prefer for detail preservation, can take two to eight weeks. Maceration is slower and boiling is faster but rougher on the bone.
Can a taxidermist clean skulls from roadkill or found specimens?
Many taxidermists will work with found or roadkill specimens, but you should check local regulations first. North Carolina has specific rules about possessing certain species, so it's worth confirming the animal is legal to keep before bringing it in.
What makes a custom habitat display different from a standard mount?
A habitat display incorporates natural or recreated environmental elements like rocks, branches, grass, or water features around the mounted animal or skull, telling more of a story about where the animal lived. These displays take more time and planning but create a centerpiece piece rather than just a wall mount.
