do you custom clean skulls?

I hve a couple of black bear skulls that I need to get done.

thx

Oh yes! I charge 65.00 for bear plus return shipping. 30 day turn around right now. Thanks, RD

Pictures of completed work available. Bear, Mountain Lion, Deer, Elk, Antelope. I will Bettle clean almost anything. I can do skulls that are mummified/uncleaned for 10 years plus and get 99% white.

RD:

free bump!

That is quality work from what I can see -- and I zoomed in on the images a lot! None of the splits in the teeth result from boiling.

I think you may also really know what you are doing from what you type as well. We use the same resin to seal skulls and bones in our university teaching collections.

Thanks for the kind words John. The Resin is common here in the U.S. with Museums and Universities as well. I purchase mine from a Museum Service Company. It is a great product that protects against flaking and seals canines that are prone to cracking or spliting. It is the best sealant that I have found for bone.

You don't happen to be located in Florence do you?

No, I am over in the West Kootenai across the reservoir from Eureka.

RD, what do you charge for a bobcat and fox skull. I think I still have 2 in the freezer. All hide has been removed because I got full body mounts done on them. Do you have plaques?

Sakoluvr, 20.00 each plus return shipping. I do not have anything small enough to mount fox or bobcat on. Usually displayed as a paperweight or on a shelf.

Can you PM me with all information; payment method, address, how to ship etc.? Will they come back bleached/de-greased? Turn-around time?

PM inbound with info.
Price is finished skulls as in pictures. Turn around is about 3-4 weeks depending on how greasy the cat is. Carnivores always have deep grease in the bone that can be stubborn.

Nice work!

THANKS!

RD, I did not get the PM. I had some problems with PM's before, so please try again if you sent me one. Thanks.

Sent again.

Got it this time.

Thanks for all the responses to my work. Thought I should post a picture of something larger. One of my favorite specimens. I cleaned more of these this year than normal.

I had my bighorn ram done with a traditional shoulder mount, but that one looks awesome. Nice work. We'll be talking.

What do you charge to do a pronghorn?
