Stinky Skull Boiling Day

Hoping this works without hurting velvet on the bases.

Are you going to try and resurrect the velvet or just keep it as-is?

Awesome buck!!---SS

Founder · Sep 20, 2020

Keep it as it is.

my taxi recommends 4 in 1 from
Bess Maid in Louisianna. Spray on velvet tanner. Would probably hold what's there in place?
Great buck, congrats!
bet your wife is not home

I have kept a view velvet ones. I would put a trash bag around each one as you boil it. Its should keep a lot o the moisture off of them. Once you have cleaned it. Soak them in acetone. Give them a day to dry. If there is no movement of the velvet with your fingers finish whiten them. If there is soak again in acetone. Doing it this way has worked for me

I can't believe the size of the skull on that buck. I hope you saved that cape. It looked amazing.

Pretty sure that buck deserves at least a shoulder mount!

Good job Founder!

Looks good! Keep the moisture off and it should stay. I’m interested in how it turns out. Several velvet bucks in my garage rafters, still look like the day I killed them
