You bet I want to see it done. I've always wanted to do a skull mount but have never seen it done and not going to try it untill I do.

When I do mine, I suspend it in a big pot & boil out of the inside. let dry.
No bleach, no problem.

I have to go to a thrift store and find a big pot but im going the route of scraping as much as everything off as possible and then boiling it out and such and scraping the brains out and such and i want it whiter then snow so im going to bleach it! then find someone with a router so i can make my plaque! or just hang it on the garage!

I put the head, as in just cut off the carcass. In a pot of water, suspended. So as to not be in contact with the bottom of the pot & boiled it. after it got soft. I cut the hide portion off & boiled it some more. That's it, no bleach.

I have done a few the same way. Just boiled the out of it, and lit it sit in the sun to dry. Came out nice and white every time.

Leave it out and the damn rat/squirrels will eat it up, LOL.
I used a bore cleaning brush and a drill to scrabble everything up and just poured out the grey matter. Then changed my mind and just did a skull cap with horns.
