Caught In Time Taxidermy

A skull that was broken into pieces that I put back together, and I put the final touches on this black phase grey squirrel on this super unique, one-of-a-kind mirror the customer had. Super fun pieces to do!

Forgot to order eye rings, so I sculpted my own. 🧐 Ringneck drying!

Next up, shoulder mount and pack mount.

Helped a local taxidermist skin out some bears over winter break... I think I need to start lifting again because I barely got this guy on the table 😆

I love when people give me creative freedom.

A unique way to display antlers if the coyotes get to your deer before you do, if you find some cool shed antlers, or you just want something different!

If you are waiting on a mount from me, just know that I am working thru them in order and my plan is to have them all complete before I have surgery.

Pictures never do ducks justice... they are just so beautiful. Ringneck ready to head home! 😍

First euro in the maceration tank from taking in my first ever opening day buck. I haven't taken in many early season deer, so I spent some time really appreciating how beautiful an early season deer cape is. His hair by the pedicle was still super long and not cut off from making rubs which was super interesting and cool.

I also found out that nearly half a black bears teeth fall out during maceration... it was not fun spending 2 hours to find all the teeth in the maceration water goo yesterday. Lesson learned - next time I will use a mesh bag! 😆

Thanks Grinders Union Elite LLC for making me some work shirts and hoodies. Now I don't have to ruin all my "nice" hoodies. 😎

When I first started this journey 5 years ago I bought a bunch of projects... this salted golden pheasant was one of them. It was nearly impossible to rehydrate the salted skin, so I decided to make the best of his beauty with this! It was a bit more difficult to work with the smaller bird (i.e. smaller feathers) than it was with the turkey feather art I created, but fun just the same!

Sunbathing with the last of the euros I had to finish up. Thanks to my awesome customers for your patience and understanding as I become mobile again to complete things.
