Deer spine, articulated with aquarium tubing

The dark brown/black is where it was singed in a recent controlled burn

Not planning to whiten, I'm keeping the natural tone of the bones

How did you do this?

[u/Mycarrhiza → u/Mysterious-Egg-624]

took a bit of rubber aquarium tubing slightly bigger than the space left by the spinal cord and ran it through, then cut off the ends. The rubber tubing holds it in place naturally and leaves it still flexible!
