Adjusted some things from the feather boards last year and coming in with a nice clean finish.
Wonky Papa’s Laser Art put together some nice frames for this year's birds. Can't wait to put the rest together.

My biggest bird to date is up and drying. Honestly thought it was going to be a lot worse, but they just take time. Overall happy with the outcome.

Teaming up with SD Legendary Tails and getting some cool lily pads for mounts! Drilled a hole for wire and a quick touch of paint they look awesome.
These are moldable with a heat gun even. Going to look really cool with some fish coming up soon.
Check out his Etsy shop to purchase some.

This before and after is quite dramatic. Recent repair that came in, amazing what some new fins and paint can do.

Been learning a lot these past couple years. Between online videos, chatting with other taxidermists and just plain going back to my handy paint brushes I pulled my first blue at the state show. In addition to that I got best of category in the professional division.
Thanks to everyone who puts in the time to run the show and the judges who put in their time to give seminars and critiques so we can keep improving.
Until next year ❤️
