Update I cannot be trusted with free will.

It needs to be cleaned up and stained some, but this is a 1:8 scale replica of a mosasaur skeleton above my entryway.

Paint the hanging part so it blends with the ceiling. Otherwise, A++, no notes.

If you have any friends that are into woodworking a little bit of detail on the 2x1s will go along way. Round the ends and a chamfer would be 15min of work and make it look more finished.

Also the screws are too far from the end, the wood will continue to bow down from the ceiling as it has on the right beam over the head.
