General Schedule  2009

Please note - You will be called when your trophy is completed and ready to be picked up.   If I cannot reach you by phone, I will mail a postcard or e-mail you (if I have your e-mail address).    There is still a lot of work and many steps to be done after an animal is "mounted" before it is finished and ready to be picked up.  

 Be sure and notify me if you have a change of address or phone number.

Be sure you have paid your min. deposit of 50%.  I will send only 1 notice.  If your deposit is not paid when I am ready to oder supplies, your mount will be skipped, no exceptions.

  BIRDS

3RD GROUP 2007
BROUGHT IN NOV 2007 - DEC 2007

THE FOLLOWING BIRDS ARE IN STAGE 1 OF THE MOUNTING PROCESS -
Stage 1 - Birds have been skinned and the feet injected with a plastic polymer.  This takes approx. 2 -3 weeks to cure and dry before I can paint them & begin putting the actual mount together.
Stage 2 is the actual mounting of the skins with the feet in the requested poses.  8 - 10 birds per week can be mounted at this stage.  
Stage 3 is the drying process - approx 2 weeks for ducks & pheasants and 3 weeks for geese & turkeys.
Stage 4 is the finishing process - creating habitat ,  final touches and bases so they are ready to go.

European Mounts are generally finished within a couple months.
Turkey tail & beard are usually done by the end of August. 

Skull cleaning is done by a sub-contractor & usually takes about 4 months.
Tanning generally takes 4-6 months.
