| For those of you who are new to this location, this site is about how to turn a dead animal into a clean set of bones and assembling those bones into a complete skeleton. It is also an introduction to myself, a thirty-year veteran of professional skeleton building. It is also a blatant advertisement for a series of ten Bone Building manuals I've written. These books are a series of manuals explaining how to clean, prepare, and articulate different animal skeletons in a simple step-by-step manner. Each manual is suitable for enthusiasts, teachers and/or students desiring to do a museum quality skeleton on a limited budget. |
