They stress choosing quality over price, offer competitive pricing and payment plans, list example rates such as about $225 for a standard whitened skull and roughly $125 upcharges for wall pedestal mounts, and invite you to call for most custom quotes.
Typical turnaround runs about 2–3 months for standard beetle-cleaned skulls, 4–9 months for camo-dipped and larger skulls, around 15–24 months for birds, and roughly 8–18 months for fish, deer and game heads, and life-size work, with all timelines noted as estimates that can change.
