My wife has a parent of one of her students call me Thursday for some taxidermy work. I'm thinking another deer or exotic etc... WRONG!!!!! She wants a 20 year old sailfish mount fixed and re painted for their beach house. It was her fathers so it has a lot of memories attached and has been through the ringer. This is one of the hardest fix jobs I have had to do. Here are a couple of pics of it before and two of some progress. I have glassed up the tail and bottom jaw and will get the bill today. Should be ready for re-paint by Monday. Ty     A lot of progress last night!   Here is the finished product minus some gloss...

Have fun with that one and remember the only way it will turn out good is if you charge alot.Member if it is cheap the mount wont look good..  I really do bet this would be tough.

It won't leave my shop unless it looks good and yes, it will be a pretty penny. Time is money

Did it fall out of the truck on the way over?

artofficial... my compliments sir... a fine job restoring that mount. Where are you located? Always looking for a quality taxi such as you.
