Chris is meeting Jerry as I type, delivering his trophies.








After showing Jerry this first set of pics, he requested more green vegetation/habitat on the base as he remembered it was, when he first spotted his Suni in the bush.




Jerry requested more brown grass on the red duiker's base, also.

And I can attest that they look just as good in person. WinkThat sable is spectacular.

I saw them last week when I dropped off the wooden base for my double TX deer pedestal.

BTW, I finally hung my oryx on the wall yesterday. Roll Eyes It had been sitting in an armchair in my older trophy room since I had picked it up.

Wonderful trophies, superb taxidermy! Those small antelope species must be very difficult to mount with so much detail in such small faces.

damn Mary, i was trying to figure out how to take a few pictures of your work that would do them justice and thank God you beat me to it. i can't begin to tell both of you how pleased i am with the way everything turned out. my biggest problem was rearranging some furniture in my trophy room to get the croc situated- that sucker takes up a lot of floor space. thanks again for the fantastic work you and Chris did for me. the detail is absolutely superb!

Hey Jer,
Was waiting to hear from you. So glad you are so very pleased with your work. That croc is a biggun'! Sorry I couldn't make the trip. You have been an absolute pleasure to work with.
Your dyed croc belly leather arrived yesterday and will be in the mail today.
