You can choose from bird mounts, shoulder mounts, full-body mounts, rugs, European and antler mounts, with optional pedestal and custom habitat-style bases.
Jim has practiced taxidermy on and off since 1998 and completed additional training, including seminars and a month-long refresher course at the Missouri Taxidermy Institute before opening the studio in the mid-2000s.
He emphasizes quality, realistic mounts, offering options like cedar driftwood and custom bases to enhance presentation.
