What we offer

All of Bare Bones Mounts European mounts are “beetled” using Dermestid beetles to remove the flesh from the bone, before being finished with an extensive degreasing and whitening process. Cleaned bones are saturated with a museum-grade preservative (Polyvinyl Butyral), which seals and protects the bones, leaving a clean matte finish.

We are dedicated to building relationships with all customers. Whether you are a hunter, taxidermist, guide, game farmer, artists, or museum, we are proud to offer the same top-quality cleaning and processing. Whether you have the smallest muskrat skull, or the largest Boone & Crockett moose, we want your trophy skull to be processed and finished exactly the way you want it. We would love to work with you to find just the right plaque and finish to create a mount that you can be proud to show off for years to come.
