You mean from my lil skinner I got from Graps? Probably so, I think he should have got half way through the thing by looking at my blade when he was done! Lil turd!

No clear coat yet. Ive used various things on skulls, but polyurethane or laquer tends to yellow it a bit. Im going to use a very thin coat of elmers glue this time at the instructions of a taxidermist or two. Im gonna let him dry a while first though.

Sally Beauty can get it. There is one in Olathe.

Thanks Grant! He is still looking as he did the day I hung him. I never did clear coat him. I don't think I will. Taxidermist tell me it's not needed.

I had some skull work experience before this. This was my first for doing a deer but I've done many bobcats, and several fox.
