They run a full-service, appointment-only studio in South Central Pennsylvania that focuses on transforming hunting trophies into realistic wildlife art.

Available mount styles include shoulder and lifesize mounts, skull cleaning and European-style mounts, bird and fish mounts, rugs, and custom scenic habitats with rock bases, panels, and pedestals.
Kenny and Christy personally complete each mount and emphasize a passion for hunting, the outdoors, and respect for wildlife in their work.
They focus on meticulous attention to detail, natural presentation, and custom scenic habitats designed to recreate the feeling of seeing the animal in the wild.
They publish a detailed price list covering big game, bears, small game, birds, and fish, with example prices such as deer shoulder mounts starting around the mid-$200s and fish work priced per inch.
Prices are subject to change, a 50% deposit is required, they do not accept credit cards, and they encourage you to contact the studio for the latest pricing and timing details.
They offer habitat bases and scenic displays, wall and floor pedestals, back panels, hardwood trim, and bear rugs, with lifesize bear and furbearer mounts including a basic rock base and optional full habitat upgrades.
