Fairly easy to do. Boil the skull with soda ash or sodium carbonate until all the chunky stuff is off. I boil mine for about 5-6 hours and keep pulling it out every 30 mins or so and pick the cruddies off to help speed up the process. Wash it down with water once she's done. Then I use a mixture of 10% hydrogen peroxide (about 4 litres), with that oxiclean stuff from the ad with the guy who yelled alot, then fill the rest of the container with water until the the mix is just below the antlers. I use a towel across the top of the skull and soak it now and then to make sure the top is getting bleached. Leave it for about 4 days and she's done. I get my wood from the local lumber stores, they usually hace some scrap oak or what you might need kicking around and you'll get that cheaper. Done 7 heads now and they turned out pretty good.
Note: Make darn sure your antlers don't get any bleach on them, they turn them extremely white!

waylow where do u find the strong hydrogen peroxide?
And I just toss my heads in the crockpot hair and all still on low for two days then u literally can lift it out and everything falls right off, 5 mins cleanup work in total to get down to raw bone.
