Hog and Javelina Skulls
« on: October 17, 2011, 05:43:44 pm »
Here are a few shots of a boar's skull and a Javelina skull.
These were found skulls from the Freer area, killed a week or so before they were found,
and quite ripe...  :o

They were done using the process outlined by Osage Outlaw in his European Skull Mount.

Thank You Mr. Outlaw!!!  :)

Those look great.  They are some wicked looking skulls.  You did a terrific job on them.

Thank You Outlaw!  :)

These are the first Skulls that I've had the opportunity to take through the process.
I think that working with fresh skulls would be preferable to skulls that have laid out for some length of time.
My wife would definitely find it less offensive smell wise...  :o
And perhaps they would come out cleaner.

But all in all, I'm very pleased with your process Outlaw.

Thank You!

Fresh ones are definitely better to work with.  I would love to do some hog skulls.  A warthog would be fun too.  Small skulls are good to practice on.  Beaver skulls look awesome if you ever get the chance to get one. 
Once again, those turned out great.

I had no idea that javaline had teeth/tusks like that.  Wicked looking.  Both skulls look great, big tusks on the hog too.  Nice job, dpgratz
