TaxidermyXTaxidermist in Kinston, North Carolina
Quality Taxidermy Supply is a taxidermy studio located in Kinston, North Carolina that also operates as a full-service taxidermy supply house and form manufacturer serving working taxidermists.
Owned and operated by Terry and Tammy Lipscomb, the business manufactures and sells a wide range of taxidermy forms, mannikins, bird bodies, habitat bases, tools, chemicals, and reference materials with an emphasis on anatomically accurate, natural-looking designs.
They focus on providing a full line of forms and supplies for big game, small game, birds, and fish so you can complete most common mount types from a single source.
They support work on big game, small game, birds, fish, and rugs through their shoulder, life-size, half-life-size, bird, fish, and rug shell forms.
Their catalog includes forms suited to shoulder mounts, full-body mounts, game heads, bird and fish skin mounts, European-style displays, and custom habitat bases.
The company builds on a form line established in the early 1970s and has operated under Terry and Tammy’s ownership since 1997, with original sculptor Terry Walton still contributing sculpting and consulting expertise.
They highlight high-density urethane and proprietary plastic foam forms engineered for realism, easy fitting, modern eye sockets, and durable, lightweight construction, including branded lines such as REAL DEER and Alpha Doe.
Pricing is published in detailed price lists, with small game and bird bodies often under $20, many medium mammal forms in the $30–$100 range, and large life-size big game forms generally around $150–$300, plus competitively priced tools, chemicals, habitat bases, and reference materials; all prices are subject to change, so you should call or check current lists to confirm.
They emphasize fast order processing with a guarantee that supply orders ship the next business day after receipt, and reviewers consistently describe their turnaround on both supplies and mounting work as quick and reliable.
In addition to forms, they offer habitat bases and artificial driftwood, bear rug shell forms, preservatives and tanning chemicals, glues, taxidermy tools, reference photo disks, instructional books and DVDs, and printed catalogs available by request.
Most reviewers praise the quality and realism of the work and products, calling the mounts life-like, first class, and among the best in the business, though one reviewer felt a deer mount looked unrealistic compared to the low price point.
Customers describe the service as friendly, helpful, and family-like, noting that Tammy and Terry answer questions, offer advice, communicate clearly on orders, and make people feel welcome in the shop.
Reviews consistently highlight fast, dependable turnaround and reliability, with many customers saying they will return for all their taxidermy needs and that the shop is clean and well stocked.
They operate from Kinston, North Carolina, serving taxidermists locally and across the region with manufactured forms and shipped supplies from their Kinston facility.
To move forward, you can call during business hours to place an order, request a current catalog or price list, or discuss which forms and supplies best fit your upcoming mounts.
