Services & Process

Frontier Skull Works specializes in skull cleaning and preparation, which involves removing all tissue from a harvested skull to produce a clean, display-ready piece. Common techniques include beetle cleaning, maceration, and boiling, each producing different results in terms of whiteness and bone integrity. Finished European mounts can be displayed on wooden plaques, antler hangers, or custom wall brackets. The shop may also handle antler cleaning, scoring for record books, and basic preservation work for customers who want to document their harvest officially.

Frontier Skull Works serves Newnan and the surrounding Coweta County area, drawing customers from Peachtree City, Senoia, and Sharpsburg. Its position in the southwest Atlanta metro makes it reachable for hunters across a wide stretch of West and Central Georgia. Customers from Meriwether and Heard counties also make the drive for specialty skull work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a European mount and how is it different from a shoulder mount?
A European mount is a cleaned deer skull, usually whitened, mounted on a wall plaque or hanger with just the skull and antlers on display. It's simpler, less expensive, and has a modern, minimalist look compared to a full hide and form shoulder mount.
How do you clean a deer skull for a European mount?
The most common methods are maceration, which uses water to break down soft tissue over time, and dermestid beetle colonies that consume the tissue naturally. Boiling is faster but can damage bone if done incorrectly. The method chosen affects the final look and bone quality.
Can you whiten antlers along with the skull?
Most taxidermists recommend whitening only the skull and leaving the antlers their natural color, since antlers are not bone and don't respond the same way to whitening agents. Applying bleach to antlers can make them brittle and pale in an unnatural way.
How long does skull cleaning take?
Turnaround for European mounts is usually two to four weeks depending on the shop's current workload and the cleaning method used. Beetle cleaning tends to take longer but produces cleaner results with less risk of damage to delicate bone structures.
Do I need to bring the whole deer head or just the skull?
You can bring either, but bringing the full head gives the taxidermist the most to work with. If you've already removed the skull in the field, make sure the base of the skull is intact and the antler burrs haven't been damaged.
Can small game skulls like coyotes or foxes be cleaned and mounted too?
Yes, small predator skulls are a popular request and the process is similar to deer work, just on a smaller scale. Coyote and fox skulls make interesting display pieces and are sometimes used in decorative or educational settings.
