RE: cleaning velvet off of antlers
Tim i went back and looked at your pic of the skull again and it looks like most of the cleaning is done naturally already and it wouldn't take that much more time to do it your self throw it in a pot simmer don't boil and the dawn dish soap to remove any grease that will accumulate and it will clean up nicely and probably wont stink nearly as bad as it does right now I have done a few in the same condition I use a pressure washer to get into the brain cavity and to give it a good cleaning, the dried piece of velvet will just peal off and if you do simmer the skull try not to get the horns into the water or they will discolor, When it's all cleaned up you can soak it in peroxide to whiten it then set out in the sun for a few days
