Repairing crushed skull

Submitted by Monty Estis on 09/23/2003. ( monty.estis@quantitude.com ) 66.7.170.2

I have a large Elk skull and antlers, but the skull got crushed somewhat by snow last winter. Is there any way to soften the bones, re-shape them, and then let them harden again? A vinegar solution? I know nothing about taxidermy, so please keep it simple. Can a professional do anything and how much?

Please e-mail me an answer as well. Thanks.

Cut them off and treat them like sheds.
