    Animal Mount Details

    The studio works with a mix of domestic animals, small mammals, insects, native wildlife, and bone-based pieces rather than traditional big-game mounts.

    The business emphasizes a strong respect and love for both domestic animals and native wildlife, and notes it has gone through many transformations and growth to refine how it represents death and the macabre.

    Store descriptions and customer feedback highlight carefully curated, fascinating, and unique oddities, bones, and taxidermy specimens.


    Pricing & Turnaround

    Individual items are priced per piece, with examples such as wet specimens, skull art, bone decor, and insect displays typically ranging from about $40 to $110, and free shipping available on qualifying online orders over $50 or via free in-store pickup.

    Reviews confirm that the shop offers commission and taxidermy work, but they do not provide clear information about turnaround times, so you should contact the studio directly for timing on custom projects.

    Beyond taxidermy, you can shop wet specimens, painted skulls, bone crucifixes, insect boxes, artwork, decor, jewelry, magic craft items, and other macabre oddities, with options to buy online and pick up in-store.
