Skull Taxidermy and European Mounts

Welcome to The Skull Doctor. I am Gil Doersch, owner and operator, and I clean skulls for European mount and display. Skull cleaning can be done a variety of ways, but I prefer to use Dermestid Beetles, as they are the most efficient skull cleaning machines out there.

A skull mount is a source of curiosity and wonder - a mirror of an animal's mode of life - providing insights into the animal's diet, strength of bite and its specially developed senses. In addition to enjoying the natural wonder of skulls, a European skull mount collection can be a great addition to a classroom in a variety of courses, including art, science and social studies.
