Meet Sir Skullington a.k.a Manny Calavera. Here he sits on Pete's piano, the silent music teacher and pensive companion to the other macabre objects.
He was made from reclaimed wood found at my old school. I bored the eyes using a drill press and spade bits. The back of the skull was a joint effort from me and Anthony on the Lathe.
The rest was made arduously with coping saws, chisels, files and sandpaper. I finished it with boiled linseed and turps, rubbed in with wet and dry.
