Try Kaibab Moccasin Co. in Tucson. They make excellent Navajo-style and
Ute-style mocassins, ideal for the "Southwestern" look. People of all
professions often chose to wear mocassins once they were out on the plains,
including soldiers, tourists, etc. (See Garrard, "Wah-to-yah and the Taos
Trail" et. Al.)

John,
Well, you said you weren't in a hurry <G>. If you try some of those
beetles I'd like to know how it turns out. Better keep your smoothebore
charged cause once that skull is finished they're gonna be looking
for some more bones to pick and they're probably neither subtle nor
choosy. Sleep lightly........

John,
I also remember the discussion but did not capture it. I believe =
the simplest, most
natural (but not necessarily fastest) method would be to bury the =
skull and let the
insects and/or bacteria in the ground do the work. Could be covered =
with large rocks
to thwart diggers.

Would one of you kind folks tell me the best way { doesn't have to =

<BR>Beaverboy Has given the method I use the only thing I would add is I try and get as much off as ya can with the knife before boiling. I take the tongue and brains out before boiling it helps to cut down on the time it has to be boiled. ya can take brush to it to help clean off the meat and stuff when ya take it out of the water. After ya get it clean I have used hydrogen peroxide to bleach the bone just a little in a fresh pot of water will do it. Do be careful because to much will eat the bones.

<DIV>A friend of mine has a skull collection. He uses meal worms and saw dust. Bury skull in bucket of sawdust, ans meal worms, they'll pick the skull clean. Meal worms can be found at pet stores. When I did a beaver skull, I just buried it in the garden. Nature did the rest. hardtack</DIV>

Funny you should mention that NM; one of the first Southwest things I did was
as a Whisky Merchant traveling the Trail to Rendezvous. Only problem was
gettin' into my own merchandise a bit too often, and having WAY too much fun <
