Hello. I've spent hours looking through old posts trying to find the person who did this.

A punt in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Or, if anyone has some insight on the form. I'm assuming it is a total custom outline, judging from the texture. I'm going to tackle this on my own. Actually, helping my daughter with a school art project that may or may not go over like a turd in a punch bowl. Thank you for your time.
 
I believe that is called a damask and the form can be ordered from the major taxidermy suppliers. They are indeed an interesting mount, but take up a lot of wall space.

Contact @gizmo and I bet he can help you out.
 
Yes they have become kinda standard in the taxidermy world now. That one does look like a custom back piece that was likely shaped by the original taxidermist.

If you were to believe Dennis Harris (once an AH member, now banned), he INVENTED it :ROFLMAO:

This is the form sold by McKenzie Supply in the US.

Is he still living?
 
He judged a taxidermy show in Michigan last summer. As far as I know he’s still around and hiding under a rock.
 
I thought I felt a disturbance in the force…
Now that twitch under my eye is back. Thanks. :eek: And probably irritating the rock.

Where is the droid I seek? (Dennis Harris) Or am I to follow a different path?
Thank you to everyone that has responded to my post. The McKenzie Supply form has become my go to. But, I need it to face left.

If I tried to put this in my house my wife would skin me alive.
 
Taxi supply companies sell just the heads, which could be used to compose a left turn one. The rest can be rather easily constructed with expanding foam and plywood.

You can try to find Dennis Harris. Good luck ! There are about 1,000 other people looking also, I suppose.

I imagine she would enjoy seeing you hang on the wall next to the zebra. ;)
 
My taxidermist and I are getting ready to do a project like this. I like the one you shared, but we decided to do one closer to this one from karoo taxidermy in south Africa. We ordered a wall shoulder form and plan on cutting it right down the middle. For the shape of Africa, I'm getting a sticker made of the outline to the size we need and cutting it from basic plywood.

Back After a Long Time – Hello Again!


Hi everyone,


I’ve been a member since 2015 but haven’t been active since 2017. Life got busy, especially with building my second business. Still, I’ve kept my passion for hunting and followed things from afar. Now that I have more time, I’m excited to reconnect, contribute, and be part of the community again.


All the best,
ANDY
