Ok so you might be thinking that you’re going to see that I engraved a picture of a rat skull. Nope. This is a rat skull that has been engraved. You’ve been warned, scroll if this doesn’t freak you out.

Introducing rattus norvegicus glowforgia:
Cheesy.
Well, in general the person who discovers it gets to name the species, and as far as I know, I’m the first skull engraver? I looked and saw no posts. Anyhooooo 
Wow. That’s super cool…bet it stank though. 
Maybe used as a warning to any small critters that are thinking of taking up residence…lol
Recent archeological discoveries on Oak Island have shown that the Vikings laser engraved skulls, including rat skulls.
Very cool. 
Nothing is new anymore. Stupid Vikings.
Thanks for the idea! Now I can finally do something with all those rat skulls I’ve been saving.
Uhmmmmm…no thanks. Bottom bounced this one. 
Very cool! I have a few rabbit skulls in the garden I’ve been wanting to try this with. I’m just waiting for nature to clean them up a bit. I’ll be hitting you up for settings
Just remember that you don’t have a ton of vertical clearance. I have a turkey skull ready to go and it’s just about as big a thing as can be engraved. You gotta stay under roughly 1.8” total height.
Yeah, I think a few might be too tall, but I measured one and it just fits. I figure I’ll just do the mandibles of the bigger ones.
A really clean skull will probably have the mandibles separate from the rest of the skull, which (when removed) will make the whole thing a bit shorter.
It came out so cool! Now take it one more step: make some antlers or longhorn style horns for it out of polymer clay or whatever, then mount it on a trophy plaque.
Pronghorn style? Ratalope.
Why? Why Not?! Pretty cool, I think… 
Yeah… “Why not?”… But maybe a little more “Von Dutch Style” next time!
By the way, what other skulls do you have lying around??
