The work begins

The two lower nose bones went back on nicely. Now taped the upper nose bones that split and super gluing inside to see if they will stay closed, if not that is ok as they did not split as wide as others I have seen, they did come back together a bit from the last photo I posted. The whitening is pretty decent, it’s not a super bright white that you would have with a soak bleaching and has some darker spots on it. I’m kinda digging it as it makes it look realistic in my opinion, I also left the teeth alone and did not bleach them a second time like the skull to remain it’s life like tarter line.

twilliams Looks good, Tim. Personally, I think too bleached white looks kind of unnatural.

Very happy with the skull so I am considering it complete. Upper nose bone at this point is closed up nicely and holding. Now to get started on the back drop to set it all off and make a complete piece of art……stay tuned

PapaSop unfortunately, some call it particular, some call it attention to detail, I call it a n a l and a perfectionist. Some times a good trait sometimes very bad….lol

Nothing wrong with any of those descriptions. Do your thing! Awesome!

twilliams I believe you and I are the same caliber when it comes to the descriptions, at least according to my wife. Too fussy and critical of my own work, that I am not happy unless it turns out perfect.

twilliams this looks so good! I have a skull from my first home beef harvest. I buried it and dig it up after a couple of months. The critters did the cleaning, but you don’t end up with that nice white color. I think both ways look cool though. I’ve still got to put a finish on mine, but I like the natural look ok.
