Looks pretty good. I have done several of my own and here is what I have found to work well for me.

1. Skin remove the eye balls and anything else that is easy tp cut off.
2. Put in a bucket of water. I have my bucket where the temp stays roughly 70 or above
3. After about 4 to 6 weeks I can take the head out and get it clean. I use a pair of pliers and stiff brush.
4. Soak the head in clean warm water with dawn dish soap. This helps pull the grease out of the skull. If you don't do this most skulls will develop yellow spots.
5. Let the head dry for a day or two.
6. Go to a beauty supply store and get 40% peroxide paste and the powdered whitening agent. Mix them and coat the skull in the mix. Out it in a sunning and warm place. I coat it several times over the next few hours.
7. Rinse the skull well in clean water. It will be white and will not stink.
8. Use wood stain to touch up the antlers as needed.
