Skull production and finishing was done on location at KIHL STUDIOS in Arizona. A real human skull was molded in silicone and plaster to create 12 replica molds. The molds were then used to produce 2,500 replica castings in Hydrostone TB, gold-leafed and clear-sealed. The completed skulls were crated and shipped to New York for installation.
Angel City Finishes (Los Angeles, CA), was contracted to gold-leaf the skulls.
Skull production and finishing was completed in November, 2006.
Gold Bar officially opened February, 2007
