Step 3: Selecting Your Shield Wood Color

The final step in customizing your skull mount is selecting the wood color for your shield. Trophex Taxidermy offers two exquisite options in Kiaat wood:

Original Kiaat: Showcasing the natural, warm tones of Kiaat wood, this choice brings an organic and authentic feel to your display.
Dark-Stained Kiaat: For a more dramatic and bold statement, the darker stain enhances the wood's grain and adds depth to your trophy's presentation.

Each color option creates a different ambiance and can be chosen to match best your style and the environment where the trophy will be displayed.
