How to Label Euro Skulls

I've noticed the same thing; regional difference. But I suppose even that is changing as the "with teeth" versions become more ubiquitous.

thats a shame, I prefer them with out teeth. I would like to find one of the skull jigs.

We have a lot of them in Europe. Costs about 60 bucks. I even seen one set that included a electric saw.

I don't see why it is a shame. If you like them without teeth, you can still have yours cut that way and people that like it with teeth can get them done that way for their own.

That is cool. I have never seen the jig before. I thought the taxidermist just approximated where a good looking cut would be and cut them. Just never gave it more thought than that before.

You can adjust it yourself. It is for home use, I don't think taxidermists use them. Got one myself. Getting better every time I use it.

First one I did free hand without the jig. Botched that one . But nobody notices it until you come real close to the skull. Afterwards bought the jig.

I cut them when they are still "green". I found that works better for me. Of course first fleshing the skull. After the cut I boil them for a short time.

Anyone have any idea where a jig like this could be purchased in the states? Everything I find is from Europe. Which makes sense, but I wouldn't mind finding something in the US to order.
