Process Information

RMHH uses the help of hundreds of thousands of dermistid beetles to clean the flesh and tendons from a trophy. This is the same method in use by all musems and leaves the cleanest most intact skull possible. Boiling a skull can cause cracking, brittleness and sets the grease and fat deep into the bone to be exposed years down the road as a yellowing smelly sticky skull. Once the beetles are done removing each spec of tissue from the skull we move to the degreasing process. Skulls will spend weeks to months in specially fomulated baths removing the grease and oil from the bone. This is the most important and lengthy step which ensures a clean white skull for years to come. Once grease free the skull will be whitened with chemicals designed to retain the structure of the bone and bring out the beauty within. Only now is the skull ready for the wall, a sealer is applied and hanger attached.
