Skull Cleaning - Large

50


50 per unit - - Posted Oct 21, 2016

I will clean a large skull for you! (Large is basically anything larger than a volleyball, especially animals with antlers.)

The skull will be cleaned of flesh and then chemically treated to remove any oils or smells.

You can choose from natural bone, whitened bone, or faux patina finish.

I can accept items via mail, or pickup local to the South Seattle area.

Please contact me for questions or inquiries on shipping/processing.

We cannot guarantee the quality of the skulls based on variances in the animal's age, length of time deceased, and any previous steps to preserve or otherwise alter it. We prefer to have the carcass skinned and as much of the muscle tissue removed as possible. If you are uncomfortable doing this, it can be performed for an additional fee (credits/trade/etc.). We do NOT do muscle preservation or plastination. Thank you.

Training & Qualifications


I have been cleaning skulls in Montana and Washington since 2002. I have a dermestid beetle colony and perform all of my own services on-site. I regularly read up on new techniques and am eager to meet others in my field!

Availability & Preferences


24/7

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

I generally have more than enough to do in the garden but it doesn't seem to be a young person's hobby these days!
