Skull Cleaning

I clean skulls using dermestid beetles. I offer a range of services including (1)preparing the skulls , which entails skinning, fleshing and removing the eyes and brain;. (2) using dermestid beetles to remove all flesh and connective tissue; (3) degreasing the skulls, and finally (4) whitening the skulls using a magnesium carbonate-peroxide oxidation process. Because no boiling or bleaching is involved, skulls retain their fine natural structure and withstand deterioration over time. Prices depend on size and options (examples below). E-mail me at drwhitey@comcast.net for a quote on your specific needs. I have Tennessee taxidermy license #463-605-246
     I also have an associate I can refer to who has 10 years experience in general (and beautiful) taxidermy to mount your animals.
    European mounting on attractive walnut panels (pedestal or wall versions) for additional charge.
