I’ve watched hundreds and hundreds of taxidermy videos of so many different people and you’re by far the most real and down to earth guy I’ve watched. I’ve learned so much from you and I appreciate that! Will you please make a video on you fleshing, trimming, salting, and tanning the hide before the mounting process?? You’re amazing buddy!

Thanks so much. I learned 100% from KZbin videos and trial and error, and that was a common problem for me. I couldn't find anyone that could just "tell me what to do"! I am going to do a finishing video on the deer I made the mounting video with. I will also do a fleshing video ASAP. I've had several ask about this, so it's coming in the next week or so!

I remember always feeling like taxidermy was totally out of reach for me, and now it's something I'm excited to get started with. Just seeing the whole process up close makes me realize how much of it I'm already pretty well familiar with from all the other type of crafts I've worked on. Seriously, thanks for putting this together and sharing your skills!

I've repaired several racks of deer I had done that fell off folks walls and so far so good lol! I use earliners, so really the only clay is the small amount rebuilding the butts.

Yes I could have, but if you max out the cape it won’t hold the detail because as it dries it will try and drum. I always order my forms based on the green cape measurements fresh off the head. Once the cape is tanned and shaved it should be at least a size larger than the original measurements. This will give you a cleaner stitch and muscle detail while maintaining the original size of the deer when it was harvested

Firstly, I love your work. It's a real art, and I think it's super cool. I'm going to try and mount a stag if the tan goes well. I was wondering what the main reason for shaving the hide down is? I'm guess for a better stretch and being able to see muscle tone? I was told to get it down to 2 or 3mm thick, but I'm not sure how I'll go bcoz I don't have a shaver or anything like that. Cheers🤙
@thecedarridgechronicles Жыл бұрын
The thinning helps with detail, really makes stretching easier and most importantly, the thinner the hide, the less the shrinkage as it dries. I didn't shave until several months ago, so you can get it thin with a scalpel, just keep an eye on it daily as it dries and make adjustments necessary if the cape tries to move 👍

Awesome videos. Think I've watched them all, some 3 times. Few questions (I'd that's ok) after tanning do you habe to rehydrate or wet down the hide before mounting? I'm assuming that even though you measure for the right form you test fit a few different times? Does any lose skin shrink during the drying process before finish work? Thanks
@thecedarridgechronicles Жыл бұрын
The cape is wet after tanning, so it actually has to be slightly dried rather than rehydrated. You want it damp to accept the hide paste correctly. I will test fit before gluing to make sure I don't have to trim or alter a form since each deer is slightly different, even with the same measurements. And yes, the skin will shrink back some as it loses its moisture.

I’ve never seen someone “not” Bondo the skull , can you explain your thoughts on this?

I used Bondo for a while when I was learning because that's what people did, but found it unnecessary for my purposes. The main reason for using Bondo is to make the skull cap sit correctly on top of the form. Occasionally I will have to Bondo if too much of the cap was removed prior to me receiving the deer, but when I cut off the cap myself, I cut to have extra, and hand trim to fit the form just before mounting. The cap, clay, screws, and dried cape after it is finished provide more than enough strength. Long story short, I think a lot of things are done a certain way because that's how they have always been done, and there's just not that many folks that teach taxidermy, therefore it's nearly all the same to a point. Not really right nor wrong, but if the anatomy is correct, the mount is properly put together to last, and the customer is happy, that makes a good deer mount.

@@thecedarridgechronicles thanks for the detailed reply.. for some reason, taxidermist are usually reluctant to help others. Not that their not friendly, a lot of them just don’t want to freely give out their secrets,, thanks for all the info.
