Description
A deer skull I found on a hike on which I drew designs with a wood burner. It's supposed to be a sort of shrine to deer with various depictions of them.I'll be accepting commissions on skulls like these in coming months if you are interested feel free to send me a message about it.
Please note that these are very time consuming and will cost a couple hundred USD, serious inquiries only.

They do, it's a lot more slow going than on wood though. I had to go over even the faint lines several times.

Indeed. I've only ever used coffee and green vitrol as markers. Does it smell? It's burning protein, like feathers.

I don't think it smells, I use old dry bones so there aren't really many oils or such left in them, but some other people who have watched me work on them say they don't like the smell.
I think it's just a matter of either preference or sensitivity it might bother you or it might not.

Nothing, and I speak truly on this, NOTHING smells worse than rotten potatoes, there's not a person alive who could tolerate the smell.
I guess if they're old enough the collagen would have broken down, I've had to dispose of a lot of bones over the years. (Mostly the remains of dead sheep.) and they've always smelled terribly of burned hair despite being out long enough to bleach.

If you are burning the whole bone it might be different than me singeing the surface of it. I know the old marrow remains in the bones and that stuff is pretty nasty when I clean it out of legs bones and that didn't have holes to let the bugs and microbes in to take care of it

Not in the cases I worked with. (A year in the open will strip a sheep to a few kilos of whitish bone. But yeah, there's nothing worse than a bone with grease in it.) But I'm thinking that's the line, the surface of bones would be the first part to dry out and alter.
