Who doesn’t love a good before ➡️ after?! This cape was subpar to say the least but our customer decided he didn’t want to put a new cape on it. Our finisher, went to work and man did she have her work cut out for her!

What do you think of the finished product?

It’s been a BUSY past few weeks in the shop. Thank you to everyone that has brought in their trophies. Lots of euro mounts are ready to head out and we’re gearing up to start getting shoulder mounts rolling. 💥🦌

We hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and if you’re able to get out in the woods over the holiday, we are currently still taking a handful more but are freezer space is winding down. Always call before you drive.

We have been back at full tilt week with no end in sight!

Fleshing, form sanding, finish work - all just part of the process.

If you have a deer in the freezer waiting to be mounted, we are hoping to have enough room within the next few weeks to get a lot of you in.

Stay tuned for details!

This big guy is headed back to it’s owner this week. At 6’1”, this is one of the bigger bears we’ve had the pleasure to work on.

Bear rugs are always one of my favorite pieces where a trophy room is concerned. Do you have one or is it on your bucket list?
