That’s some CLEAN WHITE BONE!!! Willing to bet it’s the whitest in Westmoreland County! These 3 customers will love their finished product!

🔥 🚨 Still accepting an unlimited amount of skull mounts this season as they do not affect taxidermy production!

Also have about 8 shoulder mount spots open before closing the books on this deer season.

We’re back!!!

It is with the utmost excitement, after careful deliberations with those closest to me, I am overly joyed to announce that Forever Ridge Taxidermy is once again a full time shop! I left the railroad to focus on the dreams I have for this business. This is where my heart is and I cannot express that enough. The turnaround times are going to drastically improve once things get rolling full steam. I also cannot express the gratitude that I have for those of you who have been patient through this transition, I appreciate you more than you know! It’s time to buckle down and make this business great again. I will still only be taking in a limited amount of work until these older trophies get back in their owners hands.

Thank you!!!

PSA: With the 2023 season fast approaching, I wanted to inform everyone, due to the shortage in materials last year and some personal set backs I will not be taking in any new work this year…. I need to get all current clients trophies up to date and completed, and currently I am only running the shop part time! I apologize for any inconveniences at this time and I look forward to amping things up again in the near future…. Current clients, I cannot say how much I appreciate how patient most of you have been. And I will continue to promise quality work as I complete your projects! Thank you all and I wish everyone success this year with their harvests!

It is with deep regret that I make this post…. But it is only fair to the customers I currently have in the shop. Extenuating circumstances from covid, supply issues, family members passing away and moving shops have put production way behind…. First things first, the only way I can pay my bills and put money in my pocket is if I put customer mounts out the shops door. I will be closing my books to any new customers until I get current customers product out of the door and get my books caught up, unless we have a previously discussed agreement…. I believe in quality over anything else and I will not sacrifice quality for cheaper materials and a worse product just to push stuff out of the door like some of your local cheap taxidermists…. I am a one man shop that is the only person to put his hands on your trophy, from skinning, fleshing, salting, prep for tan, finish prep, mounting and finishing, I may start sending items to a tannery but I struggle with that decision because I prefer I have control from start to finish. I will guarantee every single customer that I have in the shop will end up with a high end quality product but during this time I will need your patience. Also, if I have not called or text you that your trophy is in progress or done, it’s not, and your weekly phone calls, texts and emails only put me further behind, so from here on out, if we speak about your mount and you continue to call with the same questions, I will move you to the back of the list, if that upsets you, when I have your deposit money in hand, you can come pick that and your items up, and then you can wait another 2 years for another taxidermist to get your stuff done that probably, honestly, doesn’t care as much as I do. I sincerely appreciate the patience and support 95% of my customers have shown during these times! And I can make you 1 promise, when your trophy is complete, you will be 100% satisfied or I am going to make it right for you. Thank you all for your support and I look forward to continuing our relationship!

A little before and after skull restoration…. Have your trophy done right the first time and eliminate having someone else have to redo it.
