| Welcome to
Fins to Feathers Wildlife Art and Taxidermy. For several years I have
been providing our clients with high quality taxidermy services. I
handle all kinds of game, birds, and fish.
 The
word "taxidermy" is derived from two ancient Greek words;
taxis, meaning
movement; and derma, meaning skin.
Loosely translated, taxidermy means the movement of skin. The
taxidermy procedures involve removing the natural skin from the
specimen, replacing this skin over an artificial body, and
adjusting the skin until it appears lifelike.
The modern practice of
taxidermy incorporates many crafts, such as carpentry,
woodworking, tanning, molding and casting; but it also requires
artistic talent, including the art of sculpture, painting and
drawing.
