Examples for reference. Form sizes and poses are limited to what is available from suppliers. With the popularity of catch and release fishing, the variety of available forms has increases substantially. The better ones are difficult to distinguish from skin mount fish detail.

Examples of small mammals mounted for customers, done for myself, or mounted for sale. Completed small mammals include a basic driftwood or artificial rock base. Custom habitat bases add to the lifelike action and realism for an additional cost. Call for quotes.

Retirement time is here. I can no longer keep up with client work amidst all the other things I want to be doing. I am no longer taking on new clients. I will finish up with the projects I have taken in, and am retaining my licenses so I can work with folks that I have dealt with in the past few years. I will honor return times for work taken in, but for future work, I am making no promises on timelines. It all depends on my out of town commitments. I thank all my clients for entrusting me with your memories, I've enjoyed working with all of you.

Taxidermy can be art. I carve most of my skin mount fish bodies so each mount is unique. This creates endless opportunities for action in habitats.
