Demanding Trophy Preparation

I perform demanding trophy preparation. Not just the boiling and mounting of traditional trophies. That would be too costly compared to skilled “hobby-boilers” who do an excellent job on standard trophies.

But IF you have a particularly demanding task that requires craftsmanship others do not provide, I am happy to do it.
And IF the story behind the trophy is special, it immediately becomes a challenge that I gladly take on.

If you have a challenge for me, then…

Here are a few examples of some of them.

Precise and Detailed Coloring of a Velvet Buck

Bastbuk - Velvet roebuck

Precise and Detailed Coloring of a Velvet Buck

This customer had been pursuing this buck in Sweden for 3 years, and then he finally got his chance while it – unfortunately – was still in velvet.
However, it was harvested, and I received it along with a description of the antlers and their coloration from previous years. The buck had been larger in the past, but the customer wanted it preserved as a cherished hunting memory.
Long story short: I received the “raw” head, processed it, and colored it to look exactly as it did in days gone by. The coloring is not just a substance smeared onto the surface, but a process where the colors are built up in layers using a brush. The stain penetrates the antlers and is applied in darker and darker layers, with a strong focus on making the color transitions smooth and natural. It takes a bit of time 😉
And even though the buck is far from his largest, it now holds the place of honor in the collection. Because of the story.
If you have a very special trophy that deserves an extra effort, feel free to contact me.

Not for the Faint of Heart

It takes quite an effort to get from here…

– and to here!

Restoration of Fallen Game

The customer had followed this roebuck for several years, and it was ready to be harvested. They do not get much bigger on his hunting grounds.
Unfortunately, the animal was hit by a car and was found – after QUITE some time – a distance away from the road. He knew the buck and asked if there was anything we could do – and honestly, I was not sure, but I wanted to give it a try. (This is one of those trophies that had to be boiled outdoors ;-))
The skull had partially come apart but could be reassembled after thorough drying (outdoors), and after bleaching, and bleaching, and bleaching, we managed to get a completely odorless and beautiful trophy out of this very special buck.
The buck is now mounted on a plaque and delivered to a happy customer.
