WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Bruce Jayne - Alaska

Kevin and I were able to pick up the crate with the taxidermy today.  The crate job was excellent, the shipping was easy, I must say the taxidermy itself is superior.  Great job!  Thanks to all for the great work! 

Dwight Kikuta - Hawaii

Andrew and Janine:  Received my trophy today and the taxidermy work looks terrific.  Exactly how I pictured the pose to turn out.  Thank you for your efforts.  Hopefully, when I return to NZ in Nov, I will have another mount for you to work on.  With warm Aloha. 

Pete Thorne - California

Greetings from California, We have received our mounts.  
You did beautiful work.  We could not be happier. Everything arrived in perfect condition. Geoff was a pleasure to deal with.

Thank you very much
 

Erik Eike - Hawaii

Andrew,

All of the trophies arrived in good shape and we finally got them cleared through customs.  They are superb.  In fact, I think it is the finest taxidermy work I have seen.  Thank you for an outstanding job.  All are very good, but the full-body mount of the one Tahr is truly outstanding.  I still have it in the garage where it can be seen from the street, and we seem to maintain a pretty good crowd stopping to look.  The possum has been a huge hit as well.

I hope you have a merry Christmas, and a good new year.

Best Regards,
Erik Eike - Hawaii

Andrew and Janine,

my stag arrived safe and sound. You guys did such a great job, he looks amazing!

Andrew I’m so glad you called me and talked me out of the sneak pose. I love how he turned out. Thank you guys so much. Take care.

Bruce Barany – Washington

Hope all is well and your summers a good one. Here the nights are getting colder and gardens overflowing.  Your crate arrived in perfect condition and the contents well packed. We are all very pleased with the results of your work and I can say from several experiences the skulls are perfect, high gloss bone white as opposed to varying shades of yellow. Your process is one of the best. Once again thanks for a job well done and our hunting friends in SCI will see your skill.

Best regards,  Bruce Barany – Washington
