Hi Guy's and Gal's, I not a mammal guy nor will I ever be one.  To much passion for the birds.  I'm not trying to start anything here because I don't do mammals and I'm kind of ignorant about the procedure on them, but 2 1/2 years and 4 1/2 years to get your mount back???  Is that normal?   John

Nope------- You start getting over a year need to look at what your doing and why.

One of the guys on the east coast, I think he told me JG replicas. He kept his steelhead ones though.

King- Jack is Right
You won't be disappointed by Bruce! He does great work and is a fanatical supporter of the 2nd amendment!
I had Bruce fix up my first deer 2 years ago and it looks like it is alive! I love showing it off and reliving the moment!
Bruce has some amazing African scenes he has created of lions attacking wildebeest and so many other plains game animals I haven't even heard of. A trip to his shop is an adventure in itself!

Most descent Taxis that have been around for a while and have a clientel built up are around a year - year and a half some even longer than that. See, there are newer guys all over the place that are under a year turn around (I used to be one of them). Me personally had a few major slow downs that put me behind, new kiddo and  been fighting tannery let downs and am trying to make up ground from that. Thats why I have put in my own mini tannery this year (not cheap) to take care of most of my own tanning. Best people to rely on is yourself.There are always going to be obstickles to hurdle, its how you hurdle them that makes a differance,  Im hoping this move help things flow a little smoother instead of waiting on capes  . I would say yes, 2 1/2 years or longer is a bit long. I agree with joe, start getting too much over that year turn around and you need to re-evaluate what you are doing as I have done. Hopefully with the changes I have made I will be able to get cought up and on track, thats tough to do sometimes. And yes, I work 7 days a week, maybee not full days but Im doing something in the shop every day.
