Feathers owe their beauty to an incredibly fine microstructure: a system of barbs and barbules that gives them their smooth, clean look.
Improper field care, rough handling, or dried blood and mud can damage this structure permanently. Once the barbs no longer “zip” together, the feather will never look the same, no matter how well it’s washed.

Throwback Thursday 🐊
I mounted this hybrid Cuban Crocodile × American Crocodile over 15 years ago in Cuba. It had died of natural causes at a local exhibit center. At the time, I didn’t have any taxidermy eyes available, so I had to improvise… green marbles.

Came across this painting of a Ruffed Grouse by Denis Mayer Jr. - Wildlife and Western Artist, and noticed that we both captured that elegant transitional pose this species takes, either moving into or out of full strut.

Texas Lesser Sandhill Crane completed for Jake Terrio. Large birds like this are always a challenge, especially in dynamic poses, but the results make it worthwhile. We’re proud of how this one turned out. Thank you, Jake, for trusting us once again!

This sums it up beautifully. Each hunter carries a reason, a story, a legacy. Our work is to preserve those memories with the respect and artistry they deserve.

Here are some photos of the recently completed budgie pet memorial.
Thank you to our client for trusting us with this meaningful project. The emotional side of pet taxidermy makes each piece especially challenging.

This package just arrived from Matuska Taxidermy Supply Company. Long and narrow because it also contains wires—and honestly, I don’t think the space could have been used more efficiently. Smart packing like this saves on shipping and shows real attention to detail. Plus, they never forget to include a little sweet treat. 🍬

It’s those small touches that turn occasional buyers into loyal customers. We truly appreciate it!
