I've got a few skulls that I'd like to get cleaned up. Can you guys recommend a few places that you've used and have been happy with how it turned out?
Thanks for your advice.

Bad to the Bone Skull Cleaning in Crawford, CO has done the last 5 or 6 for me. He does excellent work on degreasing bear skulls. PM me if you need his contact info. Not sure how you would ship them as I have just dropped mine off.

PM RDMartin53 here on the campfire. He has done a few for me and sometimes sells skulls in the classifieds. Randy is a good guy to deal with and his work is museum quality.

it would be better if he had beetles. Those little bug-like critters that gnaw off all the flesh and stuff, ya know?

I've had Kenny Jones do a couple bear skulls and hides. Top notch, IMO, and one hell of a nice guy. Beetles, whitening, teeth reglued, etc.

Lay it on an ant hill for a month and you will have it nice and clean.
I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

Just FYI for anyone else looking to have this done, RDMartin53 is no longer in the business.

I set out a couple of antelope heads hoping yellowjackets would clean them. To my great surprise a yellowjacket started to land on one even before I pulled my hand back!

(907) 260-6592 I've know Kenny for a long time. even before he got the bug business going.He's a standup dude and his work is excellent. He's done deer, bear, sheep, moose, wolf, and lynx skulls for me and they've all turned out great.
