Wild Boar Skull, Charleston, S.C.
My what lovely sharp teeth you have!
When my Upstairs and Downstairs tenants knocked on my door Thursday evening with a bottle of champagne to celebrate an "Upstairs" success, the conversation eventually turned to the best way to clean a carcass. Doesn't it always?
They were aware I had an alligator skull that had been cleaned by burying it for months in the backyard and presented to me for Mother's Day many years ago. What is the best way to clean bones? Beetles, boiling, crabs? In any case, by the end of the night Upstairs took me into his kitchen where he was putting the final drying touches to a wild boar's skull in his oven and gave it to me.
A few of you had asked for photos so here is the fierce looking addition to my home decor.

The perfect addition to any household! It goes wonderfully with the cactus :^)
I love the mirror, beautiful lamp and antique table! Cozy!
It's definitely the gift that keeps giving.
It was great running into you. The sunset that night was gorgeous over the harbor.

Doug - the "must have" accessory. Who knew? :)
