The Frontier Shop works on big game, small game, birds, and fish, including North American species and select exotics.

Available mount styles include shoulder and full-body mounts, antler and skull work, bird and fish mounts, and custom habitats.

Barnes has worked in taxidermy full-time since 1981, after formal training at the American Institute of Taxidermy and years of hunting and fishing experience.

He is an award-winning, certified taxidermist with leadership experience in the Pennsylvania Taxidermist Association and a stated commitment to high-quality, realistic preservation.

The Frontier Shop publishes detailed price lists, with examples such as antler mounts starting around $175, bird mounts generally in the mid-hundreds plus base, deer shoulder mounts at about $1,000, and bear rugs priced per linear foot; prices exclude bases, habitats, tax, special requests, and require a 50% deposit with no card payments accepted.

Turnaround time is described in reviews as reliable, with work completed when promised, and the studio encourages you to contact them for quotes on exotic species, fiberglass reproductions, and custom bases or habitats.

Additional services include rugs, freeze-dried turkey heads, custom bases and habitats, skull and antler work, and field care guidance along with referrals to trusted game processors.
