can anyone recommend a really good mammal specialist taxidermist....anywhere in UK. The guy we usually use is going to NZ for 6 months and has a 6 month back log before he goes so we need to find someoene really capable and skilled in mammals.

Good luck!!! Not many around now :( :(
Mum and das one died well over 10 years ago and I havnt heard of anyone else since then!!!
Its a dieing art unfortunatly as mum has some great animals we have picked up over the years done, and uses them for painting her watercolours.
Lea.

sam ill try and contact a friend near me, however havent seen her online in a while though i believe she lurks.... she has got some amazing taxidermy, all cat or road kill stuff that shes found on her land or lane, really stunning weasels and stoats and various mice, birds etc, really lovely stuff.

There is one in Spalding, Lincs Sam, know his name and see him around but don't know where he lives! Can find out for you if we're not too far from you?

distance no object as i can courier frozen specimens. Am going through old game fair catalogues now.....finding one or two but still open to suggestions if someone has a personal recomendation.
