One big goat headed home this afternoon. Client wanted some pumice rock in the habitat, reminiscent of where he took the goat. During an elk hunt I collected a bag of pumice to integrate into the base. A custom built red cedar base was built by our friends over at Comstock & Co to complete the set.
Thank you to the owner for the work and congrats on one heck of a good goat with one beautiful coat!

Closed mouth cougar leaving the shop today. Cats are extremely particular with how you set and detail their eyes…even a few degrees off and it will make the cat look cross eyed. Rugs are hard to take good photos of, but loving the collage ability to show this feline off. Congrats to the owner and as always-Thank you for the work
