Available mount styles include game heads, life-size mammals, bird and fish mounts, replicas, and custom habitat or showroom displays.

Pricing & Turnaround
They do not publish set pricing and encourage you to contact the studio directly to discuss your specific project and costs.
No standard turnaround times are listed; they ask you to bring specimens in as soon as possible and to call with questions about timing.
They also offer custom habitat bases, large showroom dioramas, rugs, skull cleaning, old-mount restoration, detailed field-care guidance, and assistance with shipping and customs for trophies from hunts outside the U.S.
What Customers Say
Reviews frequently praise the mounts and repairs as excellent, lifelike work, with many repeat customers who say they would not go anywhere else.
Many reviewers describe Walt and his wife as friendly, honest, and helpful in planning projects, though a few report poor communication and unreturned calls or emails.
Some customers mention reasonable pricing and solid value, but a few detailed reviews report very long delays, serious administrative mistakes, and not receiving work back, so experiences with reliability and turnaround are mixed.
