I haven't posted any in awhile, thought I'd show a few new ones.This is the hog that got back from the camo guy. This is a glossy finish. I'm still waiting on my woodworking guy to finish up the custom plaque for this one. It came out nice though.

my wife found this dog skull on one of her job sites. I convinced her to pick it up and bring it home so I could make her a "momento." I think it came out nice despite all the missing parts. It's now mounted on a piece of aged wood for her office.

Coyote with matte finish. I have access to lots of different camo patterns!This guy didn't photograph well, looks better in person, not so light in the nasals and overall.

Excellent Job!..... Did you do the camo?

Thank you.No, I actually send the skulls out to be dipped in camo. I am talking with another taxidermist, though, about co-owning a machine to do it in-house.***********Got another 6 large skulls in to be shipped out for camo dipping after prepping. It's going to be a little while, but pics to come. Also finished a few skulls over the last week, pics to come of those soon as well.
