Hey, ya'll, I'm doing up a batch of skulls ( 5 coyotes and a beaver) by emaceration. They are still about a month from being done, but I want to get the most bang for my buck. I'll probably actually end up putting these on Trap Shed for trade. How do you think I should finish them? Will I get as much if I leave them natural bone, or should I whiten them? I have plenty of 40% Peroxide to whiten them, I just want to know which method will be the best for trade or sale. Thanks!

Why not just boil them? Works on deer skulls. Done in hour or so

I don't want to run the risk of losing teeth. Much smaller risk of that with emaceration. Also, if you do it right, emaceration removes more grease. I also don't have to do anything but change the water every few days.

I prefer a natural looking skull.
