Nice work, I've always been interested in that style of art/taxidermy.
THE WORST DAY OF HUNTING OR FISHING IS BETTER THAN THE BEST DAY AT WORK
Hi Duck! Thanks, I find it very rewarding when you get to do one start to finish!
the skulls look fake with the paint and tusks pulled out all the way.
Bm....your just used to the little ones. Thanks though! Guess I should be ashamed of the truck, bow, fishing boat and the other stuff its paid for.
Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction, and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, as paradoxical as it may sound to some.
The U.S. city with the most restrictive gun laws in the nation, Washington, D.C., has the highest murder rate at 24 per 100,000. The state with the most unrestrictive gun regulations, Vermont, has the lowest murder rate at 0.48 per 100,000.
Did u pull the tusks out or are they the actual size? The third pic clearly shows where where the tusk grinded at the top inch.
WB, thanks! Its not what I do for a living and I'm not hussle work....its just something I do in spare time and it works out good on trades and such. So far people like them. And to answer bmtoth....... if you were a plastic surgeon, would you point at a boob job and say...."those aren't real.....I added 4 sizes" or just be glad the customer got exactly what they asked for.....
Some of us are learning to ignore bm now that we know what bm is short for. horse%20apples.gif

Even I think its awesome, and i don't understand why people want dead animals hanging around their house in the first place. I might put one of those up though?
Without disclosing the secrets of your trade can you tell us a what the process is and the cost? Do you have pics of other animals?
All is for nothing, if not for GOD.....
"Now then, take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me"
Henmar, thanks. Well.....its lengthy and more labor than anything. I take the fresh head, strip all skin, meat, tallow ect. Then its off to the maceration tank for two weeks or three if needed. During this time I put the plaque together. Camo, stain or solid finish...faux antique leather to crackled porcleon...you name it. The skull then gets cleaned and bleached with a peroxide/borax simmer. All teeth removed and whitened again. Once completely free of oils ect. The skull gets two applications of a two part finish, copper, bronze, pewter ect. Or just left white. Install teeth. Once dry...three coats of clear on skull and plaque. Mount skull to plaque and serve at room temp! The skull above is mounted to a camo plaque and the feathers are inlayed, wich came from a spot where the owner and I first saw his hog. Thought saving them for his mount would be nice touch. I have pics I will post for you of others. I usually ask for trades ect. Pm me for any other info as I'm not a biz or sponser
cool. scroll down to taxidermy area for Euro's to see some I did for myself and others
