John retired. His daughter is still doing it last I heard but corporate work and mounts for only a few individuals.

Tylor Ono has a guy that works for him, Leon Matthews. He is real good. Has done a bird for me. He does all of my neighbors birds. And last I had talked to him he has a good turn around time, especially summer months cause he stays cought up most of the time. Does shows and all.

Leon Mathews & Seth Lane in Tri-Cities are top notch. If you use either one, you won’t be disappointed.  Probably the best two in the state.

Seth Lane @ Lane Wildlife Artistry does all of my birds.  He's never disappointed, quick, great communication.

You will be very happy with Leon's work, I'm not even sure how many birds he has done for me and my family.

His name is Pat Bradburn. He is located in Oregon, just look up NW Wings taxidermy. He does great work, however you can't go wrong with Seth Lane.
