[02/19/21]   COVID-19 has seemed to have worked its way into every aspect of our lives. Supply chain disruptions are continuing to slow things everywhere, including chemicals used by commercial tanners. Many of these chemicals, produced overseas, have been delayed by shipping issues and shutdowns. Even tanneries have had to endure shutdowns, extending wait times from 7-9 months to well over a year. Continued patience is paramount...

Just completed. Alaskan moose. Salvaged from the bush.

Recently completed.

Finished up this nice slab of a crappie recently.

Remember the Reason for the Season. Merry Christmas

Had a customer pick up her european mount today.

Worked on a couple European mounts today... still have some cleaning to do.

The small game seasons are in full swing. Tomorrow is the MN firearms deer opener. If you're out, be safe, good luck, stay warm, have fun, and make your shot count.

Finished these European mounts recently.

Some recent grouse and pheasant projects...

I'm at the Avon Hills Initiative conference at St. John's University today. This afternoon I'll be giving a presentation on European mounts, basic tanning, and feather usage.
