Services & Process

Arrowhead Skulls focuses on the skull and bone side of taxidermy, which typically includes European mounts, beetle cleaning, boiling, whitening, and antler mounting. A European mount strips the skull clean and displays it with the antlers still attached, creating a dramatic and low-maintenance alternative to a full shoulder mount. Beetle colony cleaning is the preferred professional method for preserving bone structure without damage. The shop may also handle pedestal mounts and decorative skull displays for collectors and hunters who want something beyond a plain wall plaque.

Service Area

Arrowhead Skulls is based in Broken Arrow and serves the broader Tulsa metro area, including Jenks, Bixby, and South Tulsa. Hunters from Wagoner, Muskogee, and Okmulgee counties also make the drive in for specialty skull work. Broken Arrow's central location in the Tulsa suburbs makes it a convenient stop for hunters across a wide swath of northeastern Oklahoma.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a European mount and a traditional shoulder mount?
A European mount displays only the cleaned skull and antlers, while a shoulder mount preserves the skin, neck, and head in a lifelike pose. European mounts are more affordable, take less wall space, and require no ongoing maintenance.
How does beetle cleaning work for skull mounts?
Dermestid beetles are used in a controlled colony to strip flesh from the bone naturally, leaving the skull structure intact without the damage that boiling can cause. It's the preferred method for preserving fine bone detail.
How white will my skull be after the cleaning process?
The finished whiteness depends on the method used and your preference. Beetle-cleaned skulls can be whitened with peroxide to achieve a bright white finish, or left in a more natural off-white tone. Most shops offer both options.
Can I bring in just the skull if I've already processed the deer?
Yes. You can bring in the whole head or just the skull after removing the hide yourself. The shop will assess what condition it's in and walk you through the best cleaning and finishing approach from there.
Do you handle skulls for animals other than deer?
Skull cleaning works for a wide range of species including hog, elk, bear, coyote, and turkey. Call (918) 344-3470 to confirm which species the shop currently handles and get pricing.
How long does a European mount take compared to a shoulder mount?
European mounts are generally much faster than shoulder mounts. Depending on the cleaning method and current workload, most skull mounts are ready in a few weeks to a couple of months, compared to six months or more for a shoulder mount.
