Do It Yourself: European Skull Mount
Boiling a whitetail skull for a European mount is a delicate process that requires attention to detail. Start by thoroughly removing flesh and protecting the antlers. Simmer the skull slowly, adding dish soap or baking soda to break down tissue without making the bones brittle. Regularly check progress, and use gentle tools for cleaning. After boiling, degrease the skull to prevent yellowing, then whiten it with a hydrogen peroxide paste. For a professional finish, seal the skull and choose a display option like Skull Hooker or Walnut Hollow. Follow these steps to create a stunning, durable mount.
