Here are ones that I worked on this past week. This was the first time I used the power washer method and let me tell you that it is by far the easiest/fastest way that I have ever done this.

Here is my buck in a boil of water and Dawn dish soap (the soap helps pull the oils out of the skull).

Here is mine after the boil and power wash.

Here are two bucks that a friend from Ohio gave me 7 or 8 years ago to do. I had skinned them years ago and then put them in a plastic bin with holes for bugs to get in, then I forgot about them ... LOL. I had to boil/re-hydrate what was left, you can see they came clean but very stained (as of today, I almost have them white though).

Here are all 3 heads on my cattle fence on the first day. They have been coated in Volume 40 cream and the sun/heat helps the reaction with the bone.

Here is mine bright white. This was after 3 days of sitting in the sun with the Volume 40. After this photo, I sealed it and it is ready for the wall.

As for the other two. They were so stained, that they needed more sun/volume 40 time. They are getting there though. I am betting another 5 or 6 days and they will be perfect and ready for sealing. I have them out in the sun again on the cattle fence as I type this.

It had been probably 10 years since I had done a skull project and I forgot how easy they are and how nice they turn out. I will be doing more, as shoulder mounts are kind of wearing off for my taste at the house.
