You can call McKenzie taxidermy supply at 1-800-279-7985 for a catalog. Many types of wood panels to choose from. Few different ways to do this. I use a small styrofoam form,which the skull plate attaches to. Smooth out with drywall mud,sand,then use black powdered felt,,(flocking) Tough to describe by words, attach to a walnut plaque. Looks real sharp.There is also the cloth leather,that may be used.All of this available in that catalog.
