Looks good godzeus.Hopefully I can get one done this year.
Cardeer---I was thinking the same thing about the art work.My aunt does toll painting and she said she would paint some sort of a wildlife scene on mine when i get one.I think it would look real good and unique for sure.

How do you clean these up? I'm working on one now and it's tough. What do you do with the sinus cavities and vomer etc? How do you get all the tissue and etc. outta there! IT sure has been time consuming.

godzeus,, those look nice, what are you spraying them with? Are you using beetles? Where are you located, and do you do them for others? I have one ready to send off,, I had dermisted beetles last year and did about 25 skulls for people, but in late spring all of my beetles died out so now Im not able to do them, so im looking for someone to do my bowkill from this year,, Im thinking about sending it to Arkansas but if I can find someone closer or cheaper il go that way..
