They focus on museum-quality custom work for hunters who want lifesize pieces, specialty heads, and immersive displays for dens or trophy rooms.
The studio works exclusively on big game, including North American and African species, and does not accept birds, fish, or European skull mounts.
You can choose from lifesize mounts, shoulder-style specialty heads, and custom habitat dioramas, including individual pieces or multi-animal groupings.

Customers describe Bruce as friendly, flexible, highly knowledgeable, and someone they trust with mounts for themselves, their families, and friends over many years.
Reviewers highlight strong value for the quality and pricing, but they do not comment directly on turnaround times, so reliability on speed cannot be fully assessed from reviews.
