Not all heroes wear capes… And not all Rattlesnakes have rattles. Believe it or not, they can easily be damaged and popped off, as was the case for another monster 58”+ Eastern Diamondback! Reptiles are just grown differently here in Florida.

A closer look at those custom, handmade and painted eyes.

This is the finished mount of the 38” Timber Rattlesnake and the Forest Scorpion. This was a fun piece to work on. Packed full of danger for that excitement.
Glad we could bring this back to life to be memorialized for years to come.

A lot of rebuilding is necessary on a lot of fish. In the case of a large Alligator Gar, the whole throat skin, tongue and all has to come out and be rebuilt. This is about 80% through the process.

We have taught several people over the years how to make rocks and unfortunately they took all the credit, so we will just show everyone now.
We start by laying out a general shape of how the rock is going to sit. In this case, a level shelf for the wall.
We then make sure to get the measurements needed for the critter in question and cut out a plywood backing and use hardware cloth stapled in to make out shape.
It is then poured with 2-part foam and coated in a durable special mixed plaster. (Something we haven’t told anyone just so they don’t steal all of our ideas) and then it is coated in a “wash” to give a weathered look.
We then apply foliage, moss, lichen or whatever might be desired for that particular piece.
We are almost finished with this rock so follow along for more and show us some of your creations!

Not only do we fully degrease and whiten out European mounts, but we also remove hollow core teeth and tusks.
Certain animals like hogs and alligators have hollow core mouth hardware. That’s a lot of little spots for meat to hide and stink later. So we remove and label them and they are all cleaned and each tooth is checked for residual material. Then they are all replaced, ONE BY ONE BY ONE… It’s a grueling process, but hey, do it right the first time and there won’t need to be a second time.
Check out how big the pocket is for one of the teeth on this dinosaur. That was full of delicious nastiness and, it would have remained there if it wasn’t cleaned out.

A little bit of the process of building the big display desk you see as you walk into the showroom.
We wanted something that popped out, a comfortable height for you to fill out paperwork and a nice viewing area of a few select pieces.
Let us know what you think.

Everyone go check out Yami! This man puts in the work to get you on some nice fish!

We get fancy here. Earlin, aka “oiling” skins helps to prevent brittleness over time and to promote longevity.
A lot of places do not do this practice but a lot do, including us.
The oil helps to keep the fibers in the skin from tensing and becoming brittle.
When you see split ears on deer mounts or noses falling apart or other issues where it just appears the mount dried out over the years, that’s basically what happened. Much like oiling normal leather to keep it soft and pliable, oiling for mounts, wall hangers or whatever it might be, helps in the long haul.
