You could do the skull yourself. Is there any meat left on the skull ?If the skull is old and all you want to do is whiten it then try soaking in peroxide for a couple of days then put in sunlight until it turns white.

Check out my post on my european mount from the other day. Boil, dry, soak in hydrogen peroxide, dry. Coat with acrylic floor polish, and mount on plaque, done.

One of the best taxidermist in all the northwest lives in Wenatchee. His name is Jeff Reeves. (509)886-3225. I personally have 7 ducks a couple of deer and a steelie done by him. He has won lots of rewards. I have seen a couple of his European mounts and they are pretty sweet. Give him a call.
