Looking good Erik!

@johnnyblues, as the old saying goes “I don’t have a dog in this hunt” but Erik has been posting quite a few pictures of ducks and geese on his Facebook page.....just saying....

Listen guys, I think Erik is doing a great job on my trophies, I don’t know how many taxidermists would spend the time and effort to create custom one of a kind pedestals as he has done. I did not ask him to build these from scratch, yes the idea for the buffalo pedestal was mine. I didn’t ask him to use solid African moghany. He went out of his way to WOW me. His communication has been outstanding and
his attitude for creating the best possible piece shows in all our conversations.

That being said if by some unlikely reason once they are in my house I don’t like something or feel he misrepresented something I will have no problem letting fellow members know about it. My initial thread was called ‘ a giant leap of faith “ for those they may not remember my decision to let him do this Safari. So far I’m happy with every aspect of this project. And I expect to be thrilled once there home.

Yip, very happy with the birds. The one and only “bird man” Jim Myers comes in from time to time when I need to help with birds. I’ve been plugging away at Johnny’s stuff and Jim has been helping me by staying caught up with birds.

He’s getting very close. Still have quite a bit of work to do on him but there is light at the end of the tunnel!

Anxiously and patiently waiting for the final product. I love seeing the pictures and the progress made on these mounts.

Jacques, now that is just down right perverted!
But who am I to argue with an artists vision. A full size stripper would be difficult to get into that box I recon
