    Apparently beetles are the go, beetles of the Dermestidae kind:

    Dermestid beetles being used to clean a human skull at Skulls Unlimited International, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

    So has anyone got any? I might have to start a new thread

    Beetles or skulls ?
    To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional

    Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.

    What could possibly go wrong.

    A few cheap cuts of meat with bone still in them and a slow cooker does the trick, bones come out pretty clean and just leave them outside for a bit for them to dry up. For the amount you want though, you might be eating stew for quite a while

    You can prepare animal skeletons by wrapping the carcass in wire netting and leaving them on an ant heap.

    That would get rid of the flesh, but I think the cooking takes the organics out of the bones themselves.

    Found a discussion On The Carving Path about preparing bone. Haven't read far. That's your job.

    I've found a butcher willing to sell me half a cows rib cage for $3 and has plenty. I'll hang some out the back of the shed, bury the others wrapped in chicken wire, wire up others to hang from tree limbs and let the bugs do their thing. I'm hoping for a mid-summer result unless something else comes along or I go out for a collect if I can get the time.

    Boil em, takes the crud off, plus hardens and minimises organic reactions. I use an old 44 to boil my croc jaws, set up over one of those huge gas wok cookers. Just keep it down wind of your house, and up wind of the neighbour you don't like

    Couldn't he just make an enormous amount of beef soup stock? Might smell abit better than hanging them around on the trees. :faint:

    It's how I get them to the burial site in chicken wire with spade in hand that's the problem
