I think I will just soak the skull and the bases of the antlers for a while......just regular old water huh?

Then once it seemed to soften up, you just started cutting away.

I should have done a better job of cutting before I boiled the skull......but I got lazy.

This skull has been sitting for about 2 years now, waiting to be finished up. It has been boiled once, but I still need to rub it with borax or peroxide to clean it up the rest of the way.

It isn't nearly as white and bright as that skull plate is.
