You might consider getting it dipped, they turn out pretty cool.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

Looking at the OP first picture the nose is gone, did that fall off during the boiling or is this a dead head from Idaho?
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

That skull looks like hell.  Its not even close to the whitening process. 

And you don't use bleach to whiten a skull.

Message me and I can give you some pointers. With a little guidance you can make it look 100 times better than that and keep the integrity of the nasal bones which look like you broke/boiled off. Take a look at Michelle Nelsons thread on doing a European mount. It's very informative.
