As a Maine taxidermist, I specialize in the art and science of preparing, preserving, and mounting the skins of animals so that they appear lifelike and natural. Working with a variety of animals, including game animals such as deer, bear, and moose.

The taxidermy process typically involves several steps, including skinning, fleshing, tanning, and mounting. When an animal is brought to me, I carefully remove the skin and flesh from the body, preserving the skin in a way that ensures it will not rot or decay over time. The skin is then cleaned and tanned, a process that involves treating the skin with chemicals to make it durable and pliable. Finally, the skin is carefully mounted on a mannequin or other form, with careful attention paid to details such as positioning, expression, and anatomical accuracy.

As a Maine taxidermist, I work with a variety of clients, including hunters who want to preserve the memory of their successful hunts or catches.

Overall, my work in taxidermy requires a unique combination of artistic skill, technical expertise, and a deep knowledge of animal anatomy and behavior. Through my work, I help to preserve the natural beauty of animals and bring a bit of the wilderness into people's homes and lives.

I look forward to working with you! - Jeff
