On 12/31/24 a great client, Aiden, brought me 6 sets of whitetail antlers, an elk european mount, and a Texas aoudad for shoulder mounts. Every one of those animals needed a new skin (except for the aoudad, which he had just harvested days before).
Well, today I mounted the last of his 6 whitetail. A pretty slick mix, if I do say so myself! 🦌 ... See MoreSee Less

Handsome devil I mounted yesterday 🦌
Thank you Scott Spaid for hooking me up with this spare cape! The antlers on this mount are from a buck killed many moons ago, but the cape is from a buck that was harvested by our neighbor in early October this past season.
A little reminder that with a little extra moolah to cover the cost of a replacement cape, I’m able to mount antlers of bucks that were harvested in the past! ... See MoreSee Less

Nice work how do you get the skin in front of the eye to dry so flawlessly.
Looks fantastic buddy!!!

Good morning!
If any of you are looking for something to do next weekend, keep the Pennsylvania Taxidermist Associations Sportsman’s show in mind.
The event is open to the public from 10 am - 3 pm on Saturday March 21st. There will be over 80 vendors present, raffles, and (for me the most exciting part) the taxidermy competition floor will be open for public viewing. There will be hundreds of displays ranging from mammals to waterfowl, reptiles, fish, and everything in between. You’ll see everything from entry level taxidermy work to masters level quality.
This year will sadly be the first year that I’m not entering a piece in the competition, as I’m still fighting to finish critters from the 24/25 season by the end of April. But I’ll certainly be there to soak in some taxidermy education, support the organization and fellow taxidermists, and have a great time.
I hope to see some of you there! ... See MoreSee Less

A little taxidermy 101 on nose pad details 🤓 🦌
The photos below show exactly what goes in to finishing a whitetail nose pad. Or at least what the nose pad looks like through each step.
When I tell clients that their critter needs 2 weeks to dry before finishing touches are applied, these are some of those finishing touches.
Photo 1: Shows a nose after the two week drying period. It looks flat/ volume-less and dry.
Photo 2: Every single nose nodule has been filled in with Mod Podge craft glue to add depth.
Photo 3: The nose pad and bottom lip have been painted with an air brush from a side angle to give the nose pad its main color, but leaving a slight fleshy look to the cracks and crevices between each nodule.
Photo 4 and 5: A thin layer of gloss finish has been added to the nose pad and bottom lip to give it a wet or moist appearance.
All done! 🤘🏼 ... See MoreSee Less

What’s your method of keeping paint from getting on all the little hair spots on the nose pad ?
First thing I look at on any mount. 👍🏼
One headed home this morning and a few more that recently left the shop 🤘🏼 🦌 ... See MoreSee Less
