Texas Skulls Reimagined by an Engineer | Dallas News
Description
Craig McQuady is turning Texas Longhorn skulls into bold, artistic statement pieces—adorned with glass, turquoise, and coins—to celebrate Lone Star pride in every living room. A former Army vet and electrical engineer, he launched his Fort Worth-based business, Good Bones Fort Worth, after noticing the high cost of decorated skulls and deciding he could do better. Starting with a family skull and tempered glass, his craft became a therapeutic outlet after hand injuries from Afghanistan. He sources skulls and horns locally across Texas, from ranches to buffalo herds, and this year finally broke into the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo after years of trying. He’s also eyeing the Main Street Arts Festival and loves ArtsGoggle’s foot traffic. Now, he’s pushing his art further with crocodile skin and buffalo nickels—challenging himself to create more intricate, high-end pieces, even if they’re harder to sell.
