And yet another awesome video. Thank you Hunter. I bought your book on Amazon. I run a business called white bone taxidermy in Kansas. I clean close to 300 Skulls a year , It’s about time I learn how to carve on them. Thanks again for everything you do.

Thnx mate for the help! I've been struggling with patterns for a while and finding the right tools for the job. Back at home, the huntsmen and herders are wasting away good moose and reindeer skulls, none of those guys realize that the skull decorations are actually very cool decors for various places like bars and tattoo shops.

I have been following your videos for a WHILE now. The second I saw this video w the book in it i ordered it asap. The book is fucking amazing!!! You cant go wrong w it. You did a damn good job on the presentation and composition. All of it. So many helpful tips and tricks and techniques. I'm huge in the world of oddities and this is further helping me fall down that rabbit hole. Keep up the amazing work man. And keep giving new life to the lifeless. Cant wait to see what you do next.

Outstanding video Hunter! Love the contrast of the skin with the skulls! South Texas here, we have a plethora of both! Thanks for the tips and ideas brother!

These are so informative! I can’t wait to do something like this

Awesome videos , glad I came across them to try my own

Bro, those were some INSANE genius tips! I love it man! So the gel medium acts as a glue? Would wood urethane go over the scales good you think?

Thanks for this videos! Definitely going to try this in a skull but I mainly wanted to learn for knife handles. Subbed!

Super cool video Hunter!! I will definitely be ordering your book asap as our hunting season has finally started and I'll have the chance to practice on so many skulls.

I'd use masking tape instead of paper. Just tape over the area twice, once horizontally and once vertically then use a razor knife to scribe and cut the edges. Then pull the tape off and use it as the template.

Beautiful! Thank you for the inspiration :) love your work.

Thanks Hunter you’re the best !

Congrats on your book mate well done. Thanks for the pointers on the snake skin applicationTake it easy.

Amazing video Hunter I love all your videos and I am definitely buying a book

The beard is gone! 👍 You look 10 years younger. Also, congrats on the book!

I was expecting CA Glue..... Painters gelling agent, who would of thought! As always, Great video!

A little off subject, but I went to your most recent vid. I have a beautiful 8pt that's not big enuf to make Mo. Big Bucks or B&C. so I'm not trying to pass him off as a record, but he has a short G3 on the left side that is 5 inches shorter than the one on the right. My question is, is there anyway to elongate that tine without having to saw it offend build a totally new point. I just want the rack to look more symmetrical, and make for a prettier mount. If both sides were the same he would score in the high 140's.

Where do you get the snakeskins

Question do you carve any other bones other then just skulls? If so do you do any commission work?

The glycerin doesn’t effect the bond of the snake skin to the bone using the gel?

I’m just getting into this, was gonna try to make a few chess pieces out of antler. If I end of carving into the center of the antler, is there enough structural integrity in the antler naturally, that will keep the piece together? If not, is it better to use a large bone instead of antler? This is an art I can say I didn’t know existed and it’s awesome!

Do you consider yourself to be a good person? Most people do. However, most of us differ as to the definition of "good." The Bible says that God is good, and the Ten Commandments are His standard of goodness. So, we will look at God's Law . . . With a tender conscience, ask yourself if you have obeyed the following: You shall have no other gods before Me. (Have you always loved God above all else?)You shall not make yourself an idol. (Have you made a god in your mind that you're more comfortable with, a god to suit yourself?)You shall not take God's name in vain. (Have you ever used God's holy Name as a cuss word?)Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy.Honor your father and mother.You shall not murder. (God considers hatred to be as murder).You shall not commit adultery. ("Whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart" Matthew 5:27-28; this also includes sex before marriage).You shall not steal. (Have you ever stolen anything? the value of the item is irrelevant).You shall not lie. (Have you lied even once? Including answering these questions).You shall not covet. (Have you ever jealously desired what belongs to others?)The Bible says that God will punish all murderers, rapists, thieves, liars, adulterers, etc. He will even judge our words and thoughts. On Judgment Day, will you be found to be guilty or innocent of breaking His commandments? Perhaps you think that God is good, and will therefore overlook your sins. But it is His goodness that will make sure that murderers, rapists, thieves, liars, etc. receive justice. He would be a corrupt Judge if He turned a blind eye to injustice. Have you kept the Commandments? The Bible says that the Law is perfect. It commands you to be perfect (Matthew 5:48). Are you perfect (in thought, word, and deed)? Will you make it to Heaven? You may say that you are still good, but God says you're not (see Psalm 14:2-3). So one of you is lying, and the Scriptures tell us that it is impossible for God to lie. Remember that all liars will be cast into the Lake of Fire (Revelation 21:8). God's Law demands justice, and the penalty for sinning against Him is death and Hell. Listen carefully if you want to live. God Himself made a way where His justice and His goodness could meet. We broke the Law, but He became a man to pay the fine. Jesus suffered and died on the cross to satisfy the Law. God can forgive us and grant us the gift of everlasting life! But you may still think that you can (from now on) keep the Ten Commandments. But isn't it true that the best of us have lied, stolen, lusted, hated, failed to love God above all else, and failed to love our neighbor as ourselves? How can we then, live a "good" life if we have already sinned against God? At best we are reformed liars and thieves . . . but still Lawbreakers. Think of it this way - would you sell one of your eyes for a million dollars? Would you sell both for $50 million? I'm sure you wouldn't. Your eyes are priceless, yet they are merely the windows of your soul. What then must your life (soul) be worth? With these thoughts in mind, what would be a fair price to pay for everlasting life? It is utterly without price. Yet, if we trust in our own goodness to enter Heaven, we are saying to God, "I should enter Heaven because I have done good - I have earned my way in." Imagine if you wanted to give me a brand new (very expensive) car, but I said, "I can't take it! I feel embarrassed receiving such a gift . . . here's 10 cents for it." I'm sure you would be very insulted by such a pathetic offer of payment. Besides, if I pay for it, it is no longer a gift, it's a purchase . . . it's mine by right. When we talk of entering Heaven by being good, by trying to keep the Ten Commandments etc., we are tossing God 10 cents of "self-righteousness," which is a terrible insult to Him, in the light of His sacrifice. The only thing we can do is humble ourselves, repent of our sins, and receive the gift by trusting Jesus Christ alone. Almighty God demonstrated how much He loves you when Jesus suffered for you on the cross. If you want to trust in your own goodness, then you are saying His agonizing death on the cross was in vain. The Bible says, "For by grace are you saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God." You cannot earn a gift. When Jesus said to "believe" on Him, He was saying we should have faith in Him, in the same way you would trust a parachute to save you when you jump from a plane. You don't merely believe in the parachute - you put it on. Please don't "jump" without Jesus. If you die in your sins there is no second chance. God will give you justice, and you will end up in Hell forever. Any troubles you have at present are dwarfed by the trouble you are in with your Creator. His wrath abides upon you (John 3:36). God doesn't want you to go to Hell. Neither do you want to go there, so confess your sins to God right now, put your trust in Jesus to save you, and you will pass from death to life. Then read the Bible daily and obey what you read. (See John 14:21). Your obedience to God is the proof of your love. Have faith in God, He will never fail you. Pray something like this: "Dear God, today I turn away from all of my sins (name them). This day I put my trust in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. He is the only way for me to be saved. He is 'The way, the truth, and the life.'" Please forgive me, change my heart, and grant me Your gift of everlasting life. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen."
