Buried Skull Finished

I buried this skull in November, and dug it up Memorial day. It cleaned up easy with a gentle power wash. I wiped down with a degreaser and painted with a satin finish, not glossThis was by far the easiest method I have tried, but it smelled as bad a boiling when dug up, and you have to wait 6 months for the results.

Cool. How did you keep the local dogs, cats, skunks, coons, etc. off of it while it was buried?

Taped garbage bags around the antlers, and buried up to the antler base. Cover with large plastic storage tub with a cement block on top.

Looks good!:cool:

How much picking did you have to do after you dug it up?

Usually boil mine, the smell is always yummy. :eek::eek:

Actually I have found that the sooner you do it the better it is.

No picking, what was left fell off with a gentle pressure wash. I have less than 1 hour of work in this skull, it justs takes 6 months to get that 1/2 hour in. The plaque takes more work, but doesn't smell as bad.......
