Looking for Small Skulls

AutumnAurora · #1 03-23-2021, 02:52 AM

Hello, I’m looking for small skulls- marten, fisher, muskrat, weasels, beaver, raccoon, badger, red fox, lynx, coyote (largest), etc etc, to be created into art pieces.

They will preferably need to be cleaned and degreased, can be natural or whitened. Looking more so for bulk (like 5-20 for example) as opposed to one offs, but that isn’t necessary. Could potentially look into frozen, but only if there is someone with the set-up who would be willing to do a batch for me.

Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Willing to pay (if that wasn’t clear). Thanks

Any pics of a finished skull?

Only completed one so far, a pine marten made specially for my sister. Have a red fox in the works which will be more earthy looking, and another commission, a more simple lynx.

Well that's kinda different - I might have a few wild boar skulls for you near the end of April if I can process them properly.

Yeah it’s definitely different, but she loves it. That would be awesome, thank you! With a more medium sized skull I can focus more so on just painting it.

Thank you to those who have contacted me and those who are working on skulls. Just picked up the first batch and am excited to start working on creating them into art! I’ve met and talked to some pretty great people on here, glad this forum exists.

I’m still working on finding a taxidermist close enough that would be willing to clean skulls for me, so I’m holding off on raw frozen skulls for the moment. Hopefully that can happen soon though.

In the meantime I’m still looking for some specific cleaned or found skulls- skunk, magpie, weasel, mink, otter, as well as bobcat/lynx and fisher (which are quite rare, I know). Also would accept domestic cats or any unknown found skulls too. Feel free to message or comment even if it’s not specifically what I’m looking for! Thanks!
