Ive gotten so good at doing skulls everyone I know brings them to me and I do them for people for a small fee.
I skin the head and remove the lower jaw bone before I begin to boil it, I boil it in water with some liquid detergent, the soap helps cut the grease, I boil it for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours then I take it out and remove as much meat as possible with a knife, fork or whatever, then I boil it for a tad longer then remove it and pressure wash it, I have a pressure washer so that makes it easy for me. The pressure washer will blow all the brain matter and all of the nasal tissue out, works real good on the tuff meat and grissel too, I use a rotary tip on mine. Once its clean
I'll reboil it in a water and peroxide sollution, usually 2 bottles of peroxide or one big one for about 30 minutes. sometimes the nose bones might fall off on the first boil but you can glue them back on after your done. Once it's boiled in the peroxide solution take it out and let it sit in the sun for a day it will be snow white, it will come out like a pro did it. Dont use bleach it's corrosive on the bone. Be careful with the horns they will turn white if they are boiling in the peroxide, you can touch them up with stain afterwards too.

I did not know that. In the past I have not had any problems but I will have to try the peroxide and then compare the two. Also the power washing idea sounds like it would work great. Thanks for the new ideas.

And this is where you can get plaques or pedestals for your euro mounts.
Order from them with trust they have done me right, always.

zrexpilot,
Nice looking plaques they have. Best part is they are only about 45 minutes south of me by interstate. I may just have to stop in sometime when I get that way. Thanks for the link.
