Animal Skull Carving

Enjoy this short video of my very first attempt in skull carving art!
To be honest choosing a giant animal such as a buffalo as my first attempt in skull craving may have been a poor choice, I think learning on something a bit small such as a deer, coyote or even rabbit may of been a smarted decisions. I also wish I took a bit more time in the design stage, I feel the final product has a bit of a cluttered feel to it. All in all I am very satisfied with the outcome and I know I will be able to learn from this one to create an even better one next time.
Tools:
Dermel- mostly used a tile cutting bit. (I found that this removed the most amount of material in the shortest amount of time.) I also used a very small round bit for some of the more detailed areas.
Drill- standard cordless drill with various sizes of bits.
Tub and tile epoxy paint for even white coat.
3/8" burlap rope and hot glue to cover the horns

Spraying hairspray onto your pencil lines will prevent them from smudging when you grinding. Awesome work. Rock on.

[@jayshedd2140]

That is awesome! Good job! Amazing detail! I do a lot of European Mounts, mostly whitetail deer but I have done several moose as well. I've been asked to carve on a scull but have never tried it. I have a couple old deer sculls that are mine...I think I might just have to experiment with them!

[@project.prototype]

Thanks im glad you like it, I would definitely recommend trying it out for yourself. If you feel inclined to share it when your, you can send me a message on my Instagram @bobson.project have a good weekend!!

[@kushking6537]

Awesome skull especially the carving I do long horns but no carving I was sad to see you covered the horn caps but still beautiful skull

[@project.prototype]

Thank you so much ! A lot of people have been saying the same thing about the horns, next time ill leave them natural :)

[@BMiss1217]

that looks amazing especially for your 1st try???? ive been dying to try this but never can find out what bits they are using!!!! so a tile cutting bit??? THANK U!!!!!

[@project.prototype]

I found tile cutting bites worked the best, but I just recommend trial and error its the best way to learn. Thank you so much for your comment, it means a lot !

Gorgeous!

Nice work man :) Yeah there is def a lot of material on a bsion skull for sure! Fun non the less though eh?! ;)

ALOT of material haha ! But yes it was really fun !

Amazing so beautiful I’d bye this how long did it take you?

Очеееееееееень красиво. Вы очень талантливы

[@meetthetalents9068]

Hi. It's beautiful . Please can you help me with the machines used for this? I would love to learn. This work what you have did truly inspired.

[@project.prototype]

Oh you made my day ! The main tool I used was a Dremel with various different tile cutting bits. I recommend just to experiment and find what works best for you. Best of luck !

[@tinagodsey1023]

SOOOO AMAZING! DID YOU HAVE TO USE A MASK TO KEEP FROM BREATHING IN THE BONE DUST?

[@project.prototype]

Hey, thanks so much. Yah I definitely did i wouldn't want to breath to much of that stuff in.

[@sarahbuzzetti1167]

Where do u get ur burs? This is amazing! I have a skull and would love to try some little designs. Do u wax ur burs? Thank u for sharing ur amazing creation!

[@project.prototype]

Thanks for the kind words ! I believe you can get the burs from almost any hardware store. I found tile cutting burs seem to work the best !!

[@ladycathou]

Ive done two head and believe me its not easier 😅 wish i could find a buffalo or a bull with horn, i did a deer and a small bear,not much place for nice design but im happy with it

[@project.prototype]

Yah they aren't easy! That's the first one I've done and it took along time! Do you have somewhere I can see your work ?

[@nicatsukurov278]

Hi, i would like to know how do i get rid of bad smells after cleaning proces? Specially teeth and its around smells.

[@chicksgrowtoo]

Great job!!! How easy is it to snap the bone while you are drilling?

[@project.prototype]

Oh thank you. Actually very difficult most areas of the Buffalo skull are very thick so there was no need to worry.

[@saqibishaqi1985]

Great work. Really loved that. How can I get the basic tools. I don't think I can find it in pakistan. I mean which tool kit to order, online.

[@project.prototype]

Hey, I'm glad you liked it ! The tools you need are pretty basic and I'm sure you can find them almost anywhere. If not you can find them online easily. You will need a dremel and tile cutting bits for the dremel I found work best !

[@numitallanera1422]

👍🏽🤗🙋🏽‍♀️

[@hillbillywisdom777]

Wow

[@OnlySimpFor2D]

Would it be doable to carve smaller skulls like raccoons, rabbits and groundhogs, or would they break? I'm thinking about starting to carve some skulls, but I find most of mine in the woods.

[@project.prototype]

I've seen people carve smaller skulls like racoon and rabbit I imagine they are more brittle so you'll have to use smaller tools and be more delicate but I'm sure it would be great practice 👌

[@OnlySimpFor2D]

I want to make a guitar with the skull of a cow but I don't know if it will resist the friction of the neck with the strings, what do you say?

[@project.prototype]

I think it would be really difficult to support the neck in a way that could handle the tension. Not saying its impossible but may need a custom steel structure to adapt the two.

[@carmencruse8680]

I have a really nice horse skull, I’ll pay for shipping to and from if you want to use it to make a video. Any design you want on it.

[@suvankarnaskar6021]

Where you are sell your art work??????

[@project.prototype]

I just did it for fun. But im glad you think its good enough to be worth money, thank you

[@nunyabiz3453]

How do you do this without the smell

[@project.prototype]

I haven't found a solution for that yet. A half face mask helps a bit. You could try putting something that smells good inside the mask so you breath that instead.

[@valericorley3391]

I wish to purchase 2 carved cow skulls from you. Can you please contact me ASAP to discuss the design/s to get the ball rolling?

[@brendaortiz8370]

We know how difficult is to get your hands on authentic Cow Skulls that include horns. Contact us for cow skull supply. We ship all over the US.

[@chicksgrowtoo]

How much are the cow skulls?

[@user-nb6wl3tl4e]

Udah kambing di tambah sapi. Semuanya serba setan . Kalo mahal

[@chelseyfoster5399]

The rope around the horns ruined it. :(

[@project.prototype]

Yah I know where you are coming from. I was a bit over how real it was after working for it so long I wanted to try and make it not so "real" at the end. Thanks for your opinion!
