HOS was inspired by the carvings of Norm Grabowski. If you are an honest-to-goodness gearhead, then you are well aware of Norm and his work. You also know there is absolutely nothing that compares tp one of Norm’s Skulls. Several years ago I was finally able to buy one of Norm's skulls for my Silverado show truck. I had the tall Lokar shifter so the idea was to capture the feeling of Ed Roth gear slammin' monsters. But after getting my original Norm skull home I just couldn't put it in my truck . . . hell, this was a work of art by a true automotive legend and it had go in my display case. I still wanted the one-of-a-kind skull shift knob . . . but to buy another of Norm's skulls was out of my price range . . . besides, it would just wind up in the display case as well. That's when I decided to attempt carving my own skull. After finishing that skull I then carved one for my rat truck. Then a couple of friends wanted one for their rides. Next a couple of other people asked me to do skulls for them . . . and that's pretty much how House of Skulls came to be. I really don’t carve the skulls to make a living, but I do find it relaxing, I enjoy the actual process and experimenting with the different woods and materials. And I really like seeing how goulish I can make their demise look. Every every now and then I sell one to pay for the materials. I've even been known to barter. So come on in and take a look around.
