Welcome to the world of skull carving! My name is Hunter and I am a skull carver and educator of the craft. On this channel I share everything I have learned first hand in order to offer an alternative to traditional taxidermy and just plain have fun exploring the craft of carving animal skulls. If you have any questions feel free to leave a comment and I will do my best to help!
I tried putting a skull on soapy water and some parts of the head turned slightly green and it smelled a little bad (Idk how to describe the smell), what do I do?
Hey, I'm getting into skull carving but I'm a bit concerned about getting HAVS (Hand arm vibration syndrome). How do you deal with being safe from this, any tips?
One of the best things you could do when you first get one is to cut that brace at the back off & make a leather one, it won't "crack" over time & is much more comfortable.
Love your videos! I have a skull of a very young cougar. It’s all dry and the bugs never did anything to it. Should I soak it in water then make a maggot box for cleaning it up? Or soak it for 3 months? Thanks for your videos!
Very cool anchor madh 🔫. I saw something disturbing with a little Latina descendant. She was on a small push bike and she was so delicate and graceful that I thought she had been marinating in aweso sauce y cheeses, jack. 😅 what’s up with smokers and the obsession to art? Trust me, I’m not that cool. 🎉 see that’s art
Amazing video! Thanks for the great info! One quick question, did you put the patina on just as it came in the bottle or did you dilute it at all? Thanks!
Antler is awesome, it and bone are sometimes called paleo-plastic. And you can soak the antler to make it softer and spray water on it to cut down on dust. Bone dust can cause white lung, I believe, but it takes years of exposure.
My question is how did they hold up. As I did this and at first it looked awesome. However, within a few weeks the crystals started to turn foggy and milky in color. They were no long clear looking. After about a month it just looked nasty. I likely did something wrong. I am guessing you need to spray it with a clear coat to prevent that from happening. I didn't try it a second time to see. As I wasn't sure and didn't want to waste another skull.
This was awesome, im thinking about using some camel bone spacers and a butt cap on a chefs knife im making, now feeling more confident in carving my blacksmiths touch mark into the butt cap, but i was wondering if there is anything you could recommend for a finish to waterproof these pieces? I am planning on just ca/super glue coating them but i know its going to probably get rid of the cool natural texture, i didnt know if there was something that was more just to penetrate and fill the pores of the bone to keep water out, or if ca glue is my best bet. Thanks for your great videos!
What's the best way to apply super glue to the teeth? I find that the glue hardens in the brush within a few seconds. A q tip works a little better, but it's hard to get in the nooks and crannies.
Hello Hunter. Thank you for the video, it was informative. Plz send the link or advise on removing the horn from a dry skull. I have 6 Kudu horns on dry skulls.
