A client just brought his African Sporting Gazette Fall '08 issue into the shop. We were so pleased to see Chris' Springbok mounts from the SCI Reno Convention pictured on page 59. They were one of the 10 mounts in the "Academy Awards of Taxidermy" article by Tom Tarpin.

Thank you Tom, for appreciating the simplicity and beauty of this pedestal mount.

Congratualtions!

Beautiful work! Simply beautuful!

Simplicity is a good thing, it seems lately a lot of work over emphasizes the background and/or pedestal. Simply gorgeous is the right definition.

Mary, congrats to you and Chris. I remember when you posted a picture of this piece before. I liked it then and I like it now. Very tastefully done.

I want a springbok with four heads like that one, that's freaking awesome!
