Nick's beetles to bones and taxidermy

The studio primarily works on big game and other game animal skulls and pelts, with a clear emphasis on deer while explicitly not offering pet taxidermy.

They specialize in European skull mounts, shoulder mounts, skull cleaning, and hydro-dipped skull displays on custom plaques and hangers.

Nick is a Pennsylvania-licensed taxidermist with many years of experience and training in hydro dipping from Ozark's Hydrographics staff.

They emphasize fine anatomical detail and lifelike realism, using proprietary skull cleaning and whitening processes, quality materials, and clear coats rather than mass-production methods.

They describe their pricing as reasonable and high-value, offer discounts on European mounts (including a $25 discount when you provide your deer cape), special savings for prepared heads and veterans, and typically quote most custom work after consultation.

Reviews mention good value on price, but turnaround details are limited and include at least one note about a longer wait.

They provide dermestid beetle skull cleaning, hydro dipping with custom and special-order patterns, custom airbrushing, antler-only work, custom plaques and skull hangers, finished mounts for sale, and they buy ethically sourced deer skulls and mature animal pelts.
