Ralph shot the nice boar on saturday and after BBQ the tenderloins and talking story it was already 1am. so he was just going to dump the head. I asked if I could take it and he said of course. So I took off the skin that night and let it sit over night. the next day I got out my turkey deep fryer and boiled the whole head for 2hrs. taking it out twice towards the end and scrapped off the loose flesh. I then changed the water and added a half box of baking soda to the water. this helps break down the grease and removed some of the yellow from the bone. I put that back in for 1.5 hours. all this is at a soft boil. I then used a brass wire brush (got it at longs in the automotive section "tire brush")to brush off any of the extra stuff. I then used some hair peroxide and bleach agent that comes with it. mixed it up and painted it on thickly. let it sit 20 hours then rinse it off and there you go.
Be careful with the teeth. they come out real easy! I lost a couple in the bottom of the pot. save them and glue them in after.

here are some pics.

If anyone has got any, post your pictures!
