My dad helped me do this today. Not bad for my first one.
Looks good. I did one for the first time this year as well. I placed the boiled skull on a piece of plywood, that I had nailed 1/4" hardware screen around. That way any pressure washer blasted off teeth were easy to recover.
Looks awesome!
Do people still use the ant hill trick?
Is the small hole on the right “cheek” area the bullet hole?

I boiled it in a 55 gallon drum with OxyClean then dug meat out by hand. Then back to boil, then pressure washer - repeat. At the end put 1.5 gallons of hydrogen peroxide in the drum and let it simmer. I actually only blew out two or three teeth in the process, which actually amazed me with a 3200 psi pressure washer.
And yes, that’s a bullet hole. A very badly misplaced bullet hole. But hey, for my first one (and over 11 ft at that), and 13 hours on a boat at night, all Red Bulled-up, I’ll take it.

Hard to beat the pressure washer! My son uses one to clean meat from dear hides before tanning
Anyone wanna do mine for me?
