Thread: How to mount a skull

Having just moved to me new house, i have 3 deer heads that i want to put on the living room wall. these are skulls, not taxidermy. Id like to get some shields for them, but how do you mount them on the shields? id imagine that you can just mount the shields to the wall with gib anchors (i own the house so no landlord permission needed)
its 2 reds and 1 fallow head

also, they are just natural colour (were buried for a while and then waterblasted clean) they are all a few years old and have not been bleached or boiled. would this be OK?

Considered making a tree/pole and mounting them on that?
Then you can move them about if you want.
They look quite good in a corner.

You need to make up a hook that goes in the back of the skull. I think you can buy them. This is one I made up but is for a skull missing half the back of the skull. Oops.

Can of scratch fill primer makes skull look a bit better.you got choice of colour.the brick red works well.have a look at the shields forsale.

If you want to bleach them have a read through this.

I'm happy with the result I got with mine.

Here's some shields

You can put a key hole in the back of the skull, then just put a screw into the shield. I have also put a screw in from the back of a piece of wood into the back of the skull with a course screw, then just screw the wood to the wall.
