They work on big game, small game, birds, and both skin and reproduction fish, but do not accept pets.

You can choose from shoulder and full-body pieces, European and antler mounts, and bird and fish mounts with custom poses and basic habitat bases available.

Owner Tom Beach began learning taxidermy in 2008, completed formal training in 2015, and actively continues education through national and South Carolina taxidermy associations.

The studio emphasizes realistic, long-lasting mounts by using quality tans instead of dry preservative on mammals and high-accuracy mannikins, with options for custom poses and habitats.

They publish a detailed price list with clear base rates—for example, around $800 for a deer shoulder mount, $450 for a lifesize squirrel, $700–$1,200 for small mammal mounts, $150+ for European skull work, $450 for bird mounts, and fish reproductions starting at $25 per inch—plus noted surcharges for extras like velvet preservation or pedestals.

A 50% deposit is required before work begins, completed mounts must be paid within set deadlines, and while no exact turnaround times are listed, storage fees and possible disposal apply if finished work is left unpaid beyond 30–90 days.

They offer custom habitats and poses on request, include basic floor bases or cedar driftwood with many mounts, and hold a Migratory Bird Permit to legally work on migratory waterfowl while providing field-care guidance.
