Dorsal Javelina

Submitted by DW on 12/13/2002. ( ) 216.229.44.237

I'm a rookie just doing a few things as a hobby. I'm working on my first deer head and I would like to try a javelina lifesize. is there any special way to do a dorsal cut considering the gland on their back? I checked the archives.

Thanks!

Side cut

make your cut a little bit off center instead of going straight down the middle. Choose a form first so you know which way the javelina is going to turn and then make your cut on the side that will face the wall. You can start just behind the ears and then just veer off to the side a bit to where you wnat to cut along.


Thanks!
