You're welcome, Willie, very cool to see it hanging.
That is really interesting, it isn't just a skull and antlers, but also an artistic object. Good choice over leaving the hide remaining. Georgia O'keefe used animal skulls in her images a lot. One person described them as, "inevitable and natural, grave and beautiful". The contrast with the white skull and dark antlers is very striking, I think it must look real cool hanging in the room. The Cherry seems like a a good color, probably even more so as it ages a bit. Very pleased that your wife likes it too, I can see why, it has a homey feeling. I didn't expect that in particular.
