You can post it anywhere. Either way I'll get it!

Alright, well for Father's Day I went to my dad's and we butchered a pig. I wanted the skull, so I cleaned it as best as possible, boiled it to get the rest of the stuff off, then tried to clean it. I couldn't get the veins and what not out of the holes in the skull. So I have no idea if I did something wrong or if there is a better way to do this. I don't want to mess it up again. I also didn't have time to put it on an ant hill.

Oh! You did nothing wrong. Pig skulls are generally hard to work with. When boiling, you may want to use a little Arm and Hammer Washing soda (it will jellify the meat and it washes off really well)
To get the gunk out of the nose and various tendon holes, you may need compressed air to jet through and blow those out. If not, just boil in Washing soda and it'll all just slough off with pressurized water from the sink.

D: If I had only known that sooner. Well next time I'll do that! Thank you sooo much. I don't have pressurized air, so I'll have to boil it in the soda.
