I blasted a good sized coyote back in the mountains a few weeks ago. Kids were interested in a skull so I drug his rank self out, skinned him and boiled the skull along with a small buck.
I always use that arm and hammer super washing soda. Maybe one cup to the pot of boiling water. Gotta watch it closely tho it’ll eventually eat up the bone.
Rinsed it off, dried it, then used that peroxide paste for the first time. Stuff that women use for their hair. Cost about $9 on Amazon and I bet you could do a dozen skulls. Rubbed it on then let it sit overnight. Rinsed again, dried, then glued the jaw back together with JB weld. Used a little white paint after it dried so you couldn’t see the gray then sprayed it with some clear coat. Used a piece of paper plate to keep his mouth open.
Hacked a piece of oak firewood with my chainsaw then put it together with drywall screws. Came out pretty decent. Not sure I’d do it again but kids think it’s cool.
