Sorry i have not posted the Bear and deer pics with my little boy yet I keep forgetting to bring in the CD to place them on site

hey rich... i know there are many ways to flesh/preserve turkey skins, what is your method? (if you dont mind me asking)

do u soak in acetone? mineral spirits? gasoline?

have you tried fleshing with a power washer? (thats how i fleshed the turkey i mounted....got great results..way better than a wire wheel, just need to be extra careful....)

Quote:
tumble dry with borax, corn cob and saw dust

Quote:
the judge at the PA taxidermy show did a seminar on turkeys and he recommended getting rid of tumblers.. he said if you hand tumble gently you will run into less problems with split ends.. saves a lot of time and you wont have to steam the feathers to get them to go back together once the bird is mounted.... try it if you'd like.. i tumbled my turkey and ended up steaming it over and over til finally the feathers went back together... next time I'm just gonna hand tumble.

i gotta do 3 of em... i took em from fellow hunters who shot them for buck tags.... (not THAT small. but small) i just wanted to mount them for myself.

Rich, no offense intended, but for $500, your giving your work away.

(thats how i fleshed the turkey i mounted....got great results..way better than a wire wheel, just need to be extra careful....) I use a comercial bird flesher (big wire wheel) then I cut the grease with hot water, then wash it in dawn 3-4 times, then wash it in kemol degreaser, then rinse, tumble dry with borax, corn cob and saw dust.Then blow dry and mount. There are other things that I do but that is the basic's. Rich __________________ Wildlife Taxidermy By Richard G.

Almost all my birds are hand tumbled, but my tumbler is the size where the turkey will stay length wise and not get banged up,I have never had to steam any birds. Thanks for the info tho. I answered the question very vague so I didn't have to get into all the little things we do with the process.Stop in some time. Rich __________________ Wildlife Taxidermy By Richard G.

You need a permit for one to be done. These were done for parks and museums. Cost $500.00 Rich __________________ Wildlife Taxidermy By Richard G.

Are you saying you will mount three fawns?? Good luck to you, get good reference, my two mounts above are mounted on wrapped bodies made of excelsior.

Rich, that is some unbelievable work. I'm hoping to give you some work this year, starting with a Striper in May. I assume you do fish? __________________ Capitalist - Pro Staffer
