Their work highlights competition-level detail, natural presentation, and long-term trophy care supported by extensive client guidance.
They provide a current price list by request, require a nonrefundable 50% deposit before work begins, bill shop labor at $55 per hour, and add 30–40% for custom form alterations, with extra charges for custom woodwork or cabinet bases.
Average turnaround is about 18 months from the paid deposit date, and completed mounts must be paid in full and picked up within 30 days to avoid interest and daily storage fees.
Simple habitat work is included with life-size mammals, and they offer custom wood or cabinet bases plus detailed trophy care instructions for field care and in-home display.
Reviews are strongly positive about quality, calling the work exceptional, great, and very talented, with impressive example mounts on display in the office.
Customers mention Lance by name and describe him as awesome, suggesting friendly, professional service and positive interactions.
Reviews offer limited detail on turnaround or scheduling, so reliability comments are sparse beyond one note about a mount in progress.
The studio is located at 5990 SE McCoy Lane in Lawson, Missouri, just northeast of Kansas City, and serves hunters from the surrounding region and beyond.
