Mounting is one of the most exciting parts of the taxidermy process. It’s where we really begin to see the artwork come together and showcase your prized animal. In this video, our Head Mounter, Phillip, takes us through the steps of the mounting process.

Our experienced team of mounters are experts in African species and ensure that each mount is anatomically correct and a true representation of the animal.
We use creativity and client instruction to create taxidermy that captures your unique experience.

Our mounting method includes the following steps:
• Altering the form to fit the tanned skin
• Setting the horns and eyes
• Clay work on facial features
• Applying specialised glue
• Fitting the skin to the form
• Filling and shaping the ears
• Stitching the skin
• Grooming
