Award Winning Taxidermy By Tim Barnes

The shop works on big game, small game, birds, fish, North American game, and exotic species.

Available mount styles include shoulder mounts, full-body mounts, antler mounts, European-style skull work, bird and fish mounts, and fiberglass fish reproductions.

Timothy Barnes has practiced taxidermy since the late 1970s, graduated from the American Institute of Taxidermy in 1980, and has worked full-time in the family archery and taxidermy business since 1981.

He is a certified taxidermist and former Vice President, board member, and Competition Committee Chairman of the Pennsylvania Taxidermist Association, reflecting a strong focus on craftsmanship and competition-level work.

The Frontier Shop publishes detailed, itemized pricing, such as antler mounts from about $175, bird mounts like ducks around $700 plus base, freshwater fish at $32 per inch, deer shoulder mounts around $1,000, bear rugs at $550 per linear foot, and clearly notes that all life-size and shoulder prices are for closed-mouth mounts without bases or tax, require a 50% deposit, and cannot be paid by card.

Hours are by appointment only and no specific turnaround times are listed, so you should contact the studio directly to discuss current scheduling and timing.

Additional services include rugs, freeze-dried turkey heads, custom bases and habitat scenes, skull work, and both traditional and fiberglass fish options.
