The worst Whitetail European mount to date… 💀🦌

Fortunately, this one belonged to Mother Nature long before it made its way to the shop. Not every skull comes in with perfect bone structure, but every project presents its own unique challenges.

Sometimes you just have to work with what the deer gives you! 😅

Getting pictures of my work from clients just hits differently. A lot of hours go into every project, so seeing them displayed and appreciated makes it all worth it.

💧 💧 The initial coats drying. Always testing different techniques to improve the final result. On this nose, I decided to hand brush the clear coat application instead of airbrushing it. 🦌.

Preview of the progress on the Bobcat Rug! Notably, we are working with a local Hastings associate rather than shipping these items to PA.
