Coyote skulls? Claws?

[charlie brown]

Well, I am gonna be leaving here in about 7 hours to head north for a camping trip. I will spend the next couple of mornings calling for coyotes. I know by now that the hides will not be in very good shape, so no tanning them for me. I would like to keep the skulls and claws though. Whet would I need to do to clean the skull and get everything off without making the skull to soft, and then what would I need to do to make it white? Also, what would need to be done to the claws of coyotes and badgers, to make things like necklaces, etc.

Thanks.

I don't know about the claws, but as for the skulls, I just treat it like a deer skull. Boil, scrape, repeat. Bleach with 40% peroxide with the paste from www.vandykestaxidermy.com
