@mantaship 5 лет назад

Hunter, first time seeing this, but wow! Great stuff. Very clear and concise. My question: Is it buff-able? Before you put on the final protective coat, can you put this under a soft cotton wheel with some rouge and get the copper to shine a bit more?

@usskullhunter 5 лет назад

Hey Will! Glad you "stopped by" :) The answer is yes. You can certainly use different techniques for buffing and get a similar result. Further buffing like you are describing would definitely make it shine up more. If you give it a try let me know how it goes! ~ Hunter

@edmonds4816 5 лет назад

So I think I've watched every video you've made now and I can't wait to try my hand at this. This year my daughter shot her first doe and I want to try and carve something similar to this video with also inlaying her initial similar to another video of yours. My question is patterns. It seems every video you start with the perfectly sized and laid out patterns that you transfer. Any tips you can give a rookie on making these patterns? I have about a dozen skulls now to play with and practice to try and make her perfect. Thanks again for the great videos and turning me on to this great New way to display our trophies

@usskullhunter 5 лет назад

Hey man! That's great! Sounds like you like you got your work cut out for you haha. Well, I guess after doing it a few times you get better at it but honestly the way I get it to fit right is just trial and error. Meaning, I will print the design out and see how much I am off, then try and print it off in a different setting (Like when you print you can shoose different layouts and sizes), and then if that is still not working I will open it up in Paint and resize till I get it right. That means I might print off a few different pages till the disgn fits right. Hope that somehow helps haha

@MHMecklin 6 лет назад

This idea might be a bit of a stretch but have you thought about doing fillings? As in pouring liquid aluminum into a skull, letting it harden, and then breaking the skull off to see the shape inside. I don’t know if it would work sense I’m not sure how hot skulls can stand but assuming it works, you could probably get some interesting shapes and maybe build new ideas off it. I would also get Twitter. Hope this helps!

@usskullhunter 6 лет назад

Thanks! That is a pretty cool idea! I will have to think about and put my own twist on it :) I think for now RU-vid, Instagram, Facebook, and Vero are about the only things I can keep up with right now lol

Thanks a lot. Keep up the good work. Cheers.

@Bordey 6 лет назад

Where do you get clean, intact deer skulls? Are they usually provided by different hunters, a specific company, or do you clean them yourself? I want to get into skull/bone carving but deer skulls seem quite expensive for a student with little income.

@usskullhunter 6 лет назад

Hey man! Yeah so most of the ones you see here are customer skulls that they provide to me (and agree to let me use for videos). I have had quite a few people simply give me deer skulls because they know that I like to carve them. But, take a look at this first, and then see if that helps usskullhunter.com/find-animal-skulls-locally-skull-carving-free/ if after trying these ideas nothing works let me know and we can probably brain storm some more ideas that will work :)

@offtofish 3 года назад

hello what type of ca glue do you use that can be brushed on?

@muddmeans5580 5 лет назад

I'm confused. In this video you say you engrave the image 2/16" - 3/16" deep. I can't believe you really meant this. Can you clarify this?? Thanks and really love your workmanship!!

@usskullhunter 5 лет назад

Hey man! Yeah it's actually more like 1/16 or less. Bigger skulls like cows I will carve down that far but thinner skulls more in the 1/16th range.

@raphr3612 6 лет назад

Gonna start soon ^^ Thanks for sharing :) Where can I find nice designs to transfer to skulls ??

@usskullhunter 6 лет назад

Sure thing Raph! SO the designs themselves as far as what I do are just kinda random at this point. I usually think of a theme and then just build a design around that. This particular one was a custom design by a guy who specializes in Celtic designs.

@raphr3612 6 лет назад

Hey ! Thanks for your time What do you mean "build around" like photoshop then print it ?

@usskullhunter 6 лет назад

Ah no I just kinda start with a main theme, so like say a fire department symbol and then add some flames where they fit on the skull and then maybe some filigree and such. Send me your email and I can send you over some stuff that I do have though. Just shoot me a message on facebook facebook.com/usskullhunter/

@OlcayMsrloglu 5 лет назад

Dear, I am power wood carver (novice) and learn a lot from you. Thank you for your efforts. I don't know if it is too late to ask, but, you brushed CA glue at the end. As far as I know it ruins the brush. The brush you use is a big one, which I believe you would not want to scrap. How do you protect the brush?

@usskullhunter 5 лет назад

@TheRedhawke 5 лет назад

Did you end up using the CA accelerator very much ? I was wondering if you could make it without using it.

@usskullhunter 5 лет назад

Well you know I don't actually use it much. Reason being it tends to "burn" the glue and bubble up. So yeah definitely you don't need it.

@1beero 5 лет назад

I concur with Mike Hubbard, have you considered mixing the powder with a clear epoxy? and then scraping it into the void? could save yourself a whole bunch of powder and sanding too......

@usskullhunter 5 лет назад

Well yes, problem with that is it's actually a lot harder to get the paste into the design and you end up wit lots of voids that you then have to repair and that takes up time. So yes you can, but you are not necessarily saving time in the end.
