It all started 5 years ago when i first watch his video on cleaning skulls, after trial and error im now doing them professionally! Love these videos and very educational as a taxidermist and a hunter. Great video and awesome content!!!!
I'm a mechanic for nearly 10 years now, my old man was a mechanic for 35-40 years. One thing he taught me early on that I'll never forget is to take the extra 2 seconds to hang up your hose if you're not using it. It saves having to bend over 150 times a day and I noticed a real difference when I started doing it. Cheers, love the videos!
As a full time taxidermist I always subbed out skull work, but return time in our industry is a key factor to keep happy customers. With that being said I decided to do all our skulls last season using some of your methods. I water macerate, then turbo tip wash with 3000 psi 90-95 % clean. Aqua Silk 2 to 1 mix. It boils at around 120f, leaving no bone harmed or any skull weakened. After 1 hr remove, final rinse and dry, mop&glow. This has allowed me to flip skulls for customers in a month or two, keeping them happy and returning. I propably wouldn't have taken this on without your video posts and greatly appreciate your insight on skull cleaning. Just because a Chemist has a PH.D. doesnt mean he/she knows the true value of a compound unless experimented with. It is definitely a GREASE remover when heated to its boiling point, which is obviously half that of H2O. Brilliant Work!
Thank you Ryan. Great video. Found my problem. Whitening wash was way to strong and my skull almost fell completely apart, pulled as soon as it boiled and still to long. Thanks for the info.
Have you ever tried adding "Sal Soda" the boil for assisting in getting meat off, or unnecessary?...your videos bridge the gap for DIYers..thanks for sharing your tips and tricks repeatedly. they never get old because I think a lot of us learn from repetition. I have done some work with beetles, but your methods are SO much easier and quicker. Thanks for the continued education and entertainment!
Great video brother as always but this one is in particular is a great one I've learned everything from your method and my business is growing super fast. Thanks Ryan for all you do.
Thank you so much for all you’re videos it helped me be ok with trying to learn how to skin animals for taxidermy I can’t wait to begin but I live in California and I’m waiting for the usps shipping to clear up to have whole frozen animals shipped :)
Great videos, you inspired me to start skull cleaning! I have beetles and I tried that volume 40 whitening solution, but without degreasing skulls it takes an hour to get the skull white, and by then the nasal cavity bones are flaking off because the solution ate them out. What do you think my problem is? Just having the nasal bones?
Thank you for the anather great video, alwase good to go over step by step of what is needed. Take care, hope to see more soon. P.S.hope the contact information for you was ok. Take care, your friend from Nebraska
I always love the (almost) end result of all the work, the white skulls coming out of the peroxide! I always use a 1 to 3 ratio of peroxide as you used to in your earlier videos. Have you found that less still gets the job done, like 1 to 7 in this case?
This may help a bunch of people. Not sure. But I use an air wand on my air compressor to “blow” the brains out of the skull. This definitely helps. I then put a little oxy clean in the cranium cavity and boil. The brain and nasal cavity come out super clean
@WHITEBONE CREATIONS HUNTING when you were explaining the grate over your drainage system. Did you say you catch all the big debris and freeze it? What do you do with it?
The beauty of horns is they really only go on their original horn core if they don’t slide together like they were grown together it’s the wrong one after thousands of sheep and goat I’ve never mixed one up thank you Mother Nature
Please forgive me if I am saying a foolish thing. What if we keep the skull in soil for a couple of weeks until the meat gets degraded, which will help as remove the meat with ease.
HI, Im just getting started with doing euro mounts, my daughter harvested a beautiful muley buck this last fall and wants it mounted. I have several heads over the years that my 2 daughters have taken. my question is when doing the cleaning boil i notice that on some of the heads the teeth are getting loose, i keep it at a simmer but must be doing something wrong. any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. love all your videos, very helpful for my first try, thanks. Also most of the heads have never been cleaned until now, is there any other way to whiten them 100% or am i out of luck? thanks again.
You might be leaving them in to long, but if they do fall out, just keep them and glue them back in, trying to get an old skull white is a challenge, but if you clean them, then degrease them, then whiten with 40 volume peroxide or the new stuff whitebone started using you should be able to get them pretty good. or have you thought about dipping the skulls in snow camo or camo. If they wont get white thats another way of covering them and they look really cool finished
I am currently doing a sheep crown Mount project but the skull is having some black lines and colouring on some spots and also those spots give out a very foul smell what do you think is the problem.....I currently removed all the meat and membranes by maceration and I'm planning to give it a soak in hydrogen peroxide
Just wanted to say thanks for all of your tips over the years! Tomorrow I’m tackling a Longhorn steer which is a giant! Where do u get ur tags from! Any tips you could think of from ur experience with the one u did
How old is too old to clean a skull? i have a whitetail buck skull that has been sitting out in the weather for 2 years and would you like to clean up his skull. do you think it would be do-able?
Hey there brother, Is Jake from lower Michigan Again, I have a quick question for you, OK I travelled to Tennessee a few months ago and my cousin had gave me a big 7 point that his neighbour shot years ago and gave to his wife's father which his wife's father took and threw it out into the barn and left them from day one of receiving them, So they are now whether, And starting to crack, UMMM, I put mop'n glow on them to see if it would restore some moisture to them, Which seemed to help for the 1st few days but there now looking dry again, What can I use long term to stop them from cracking any worse than what they are, They are too nice of a set to let Them Crack and turn to dust... So if you know of or can think of anything I can use to restore some moisture and stop the cracking let me know MY BROTHER I appreciate ya....🤘😒🤘
So here is a question I have that might possibly be a cool video for you to do if you ever come across it. Have you ever had to fix a euro for someone who had somebody else do it first and they just totally butchered it? If so it would be cool to see the process of cleaning a skull that wasn't done properly the first time.
Do you buy your blades from Havalon.com? I have tried but they’re currently out of stock and their online store is not open. I noticed you called the blades by a different name so I thought you may purchase them elsewhere.
I am looking for that as well. not sure if there is a term I'm missing or if the company no longer exists or no web presence. It looks like a milking or wash pail, but looks at least 30 quarts. if I find something close, I'll share.
if you want to save some cash, a cheap #8 scalpel handle will do the trick very well at about 10% the price of the civilware handle, which is admittedly very nice. Whatever you do, don't use a folding knife! It will get gunked up and take a long time to clean. Not fun.
As a skull cleaner myself, I love this type of video. It gives me a bunch of great pointers and tips. Thank you and keep them coming!!!

There is always something new to learn with each video. Thank you, Ryan.

I love your channel
7:47 beat drops with the pressure washer...Nice touch
I always love the (almost) end result of all the work, the white skulls coming out of the peroxide! I always use a 1 to 3 ratio of peroxide as you used to in your earlier videos. Have you found that less still gets the job done, like 1 to 7 in this case?
Yes it will. Same old story young animal weak mix older animal stronger mix.
Thanks for the info i will do this business
another great video
The beat on 7:48 is fire . Let's get washing!
Do you only do European mounts or do you also do shoulder mounts?
This may help a bunch of people. Not sure. But I use an air wand on my air compressor to “blow” the brains out of the skull. This definitely helps. I then put a little oxy clean in the cranium cavity and boil. The brain and nasal cavity come out super clean
@WHITEBONE CREATIONS HUNTING when you were explaining the grate over your drainage system. Did you say you catch all the big debris and freeze it? What do you do with it?
Freeze it then throw it out.
I remember when you popped ear buds whith a screw driver
How do you keep track of which horns go on which sheep? How do you know you didn't put the horns on a sheep?
The beauty of horns is they really only go on their original horn core if they don’t slide together like they were grown together it’s the wrong one after thousands of sheep and goat I’ve never mixed one up thank you Mother Nature
great video as always.
How long have you been cooking in the dioxygen mixture?
I hope 3in1 mop n glo works!
I love your videos. I know you showed or shared the link for the developer, could you give me where you find the 40 developer?
Please forgive me if I am saying a foolish thing. What if we keep the skull in soil for a couple of weeks until the meat gets degraded, which will help as remove the meat with ease.
That process is totally fine however it take a good long time and typically stains the bone

At one point my friend or uncle I can’t remember who but I was told you live in utah
I live in Huntington beach California
@@WHITEBONE so I was close
@@WHITEBONE I live in West Jordan utah
Do you buy your blades from Havalon.com?
I have tried but they’re currently out of stock and their online store is not open.
I noticed you called the blades by a different name so I thought you may purchase them elsewhere.
Haval I buy them from Oso grande.com
@@WHITEBONE awesome, thanks for replying back! This channel great!
I see that you are near other properties, How do you combat the odor? Has there been any complaints?
It doesn’t stink at all
ya baby
Love the videos. Ever done a duck skull?
Can you use propane with that burner or is is designed for natural gas?
Natural gas.
Anyone got a link for that pot
I really wish I could find that pot Neware. Been looking online forever
I am looking for that as well. not sure if there is a term I'm missing or if the company no longer exists or no web presence. It looks like a milking or wash pail, but looks at least 30 quarts. if I find something close, I'll share.
Apparently that post bless my web browser. They appear to be called a Cazo.

I hate the nose bones I always,no matter the head I take em out

I been using that #8 for 20 years they are great but I bend the tang all the time. The blade get loose and dangerous. I am hard on gear.
I am new to this and I still haven’t found a great way to whiten skulls completely. Anyone mind telling me what they use?
40 volume peroxide from a beauty salon or you can order online, that stuff works pretty good
Hy
Have you ever clean a horse skull?
I cleaned a zebra skull. It’s pretty much the same thing. Just need a big ass pot
