Great job on that. Do you do a lot of work? Thinking of getting a couple replica's made or maybe do up a stringer of bass. How did you learn? |

Thanks. I work full time so word of mouth keeps me busy enough. I work straight afternoons mostly so this allows me to work at it in the morning. I am dreaming of doing this full time, but it is a big step. I took a course on fish and bird mounting at Sir Sandford Fleming College, from there I taught myself through videos and books, and some help from other great taxidemists. |

I don't do many replicas because of the cost. I have to purchase a blank from a supplier which is expensive, so you are looking at around $18.00/inch for a replica. Wait time roughly 4-6 months depending on the time of year. Thanks again.

Ok thanks, I will keep that in mind its a good price considering I get my mount and the fish gets to keep it's life. I caught a walleye that I would like to get done sooner or later preferably sooner, I will pm you in the next few months for details on what you need I just have to save up 31 inches first.
