TaxidermyXTaxidermist in Burlington, North Carolina
Wyrick's Taxidermy is a taxidermy studio located in Burlington, North Carolina that offers a wide range of mounting and restoration services.
You can work with owner Craig Wyrick on everything from new trophies to repairs, with an emphasis on high-quality, long-lasting work and detailed, habitat-style displays.
They operate as a full-service studio handling big game, small game, fish, birds, reptiles, skulls, pets, and restoration projects.
The studio works on big game, small game, birds, fish, reptiles, skulls, pets, and some exotics.
They offer shoulder, life-size, half mounts, rugs, European skull mounts, fish skin mounts and reproductions, bird mounts, and custom habitat scenes.
The business notes years of experience with large animals, and Craig is a certified fish taxidermist who also does wholesale fish work for other taxidermists.
They focus on realism and durability, tanning all big-game skins and building detailed habitat displays, including scenes inspired by magazine photos.
Pricing varies based on options such as lifesize vs. tanning only, plaque styles for European skulls, and different mounting and habitat choices, so they encourage you to discuss your project directly.
Turnaround depends in part on factors like Dermestid beetle activity for skull cleaning, with skulls processing faster in warmer weather, but reviews describe the work as fast and timely.
Additional services include rugs, skull cleaning with Dermestid beetles, repair and restoration of older mounts, pet preservation, custom habitat bases and dioramas, and finished mounts and wholesale fish work.
Reviewers consistently praise the workmanship and artistry, calling the mounts excellent, realistic, and some of the best they have had, including fiberglass replica fish.
Customers highlight Craig by name, mentioning repeat business, strong recommendations, and a sense that he clearly loves his work.
Reviews describe pricing as reasonable and great value, and note fast, timely turnaround, with one unexplained 1‑star review among otherwise very positive ratings.
The shop is located at 1629 Birchwood Dr, Burlington, NC 27217, off Burch Bridge Rd near Lake Cammack in Alamance County, serving Burlington and the surrounding North Carolina area.
