Our Method:
We use various methods for skull cleaning. It is project dependent but generally we either use a water submersion process or we use our Dermestid Beetles. The beetles remove flesh from the skull very gently. Both of our methods preserve the durability of the skull. All of our skulls go through a detailed degreasing process, which is what cleans and begins to whiten the bone. The skull then goes through a peroxide whitening process for a final finish. Finally, we seal the antlers with a UV protected layer, which preserves the natural colors of the antlers.

DIY Method:
Q: Can I do my own European mount?
A: Of course you can. However, it’s important to note that many of the DIY methods online are more prone to produce mediocre results. Most DIY European mounts utilize a skull boiling process. But this method can cause the skull to become brittle and crack, especially the nasal cavity bones. With DIY methods, you will notice they typically have a yellowed and greasy appearance.

We accept fresh or frozen skulls. Rotten skulls will not be accepted into the shop.

With years of experience in European mounts, we are able to provide a showroom quality mount.
