How do I polish a buffalo skull?

My father owns and runs a buffalo farm in Washington and we have several buffalo skulls that we are getting cleaned but he wanted me to get on and try to find out how to polish a skull. Everywhere I look, all they say is "How to clean a skull" or something like that! I dont know what to do so I was hoping someone out there could help me out! thanks

What do you mean by "polish"?

It might be best to further define what you mean by "polish". Obviously you arent concerned about cleaning and treating it - but it does imply it's the finish you're concerned about - but in what way? I've noticed that your post hasnt gotten a reply - but then maybe others are confused about what you are referring to also.

Do you want a gloss to the finished skull? Do you want to literally polish the horns? More info is needed for someone to give you an answer.


heck I thought you meant ...
