Hi all,
quite a few of you use me already but thought I'd put an official advert up
.
I've been doing skull prep for friends for quite a few years now just for a bit of beer money and in some instances swapped for stalks etc. However at the back end of last year I thought life was too short and decided to leave my job, go self employed and have been doing this full time ever since. Best thing I have ever done! I get to deal with fellow stalkers on a daily basis as well as get my hands on weird and wonderful trophies and give them the finish they deserve. I have many heads brought to me to be cleaned, from heads from freshly shot beasts to ones that have been rotting away outdoors for several months. I can even freshen up heads that have been previously cleaned to bring them back to their former glory. I can also stain antlers from deer shot in velvet or from ones that have become sun bleached from being kept outdoors.
I am flexible and can do whatever you require. Be it just a simple skull prep and whiten or mounting on a shield complete with an engraved plaque. I have a wide variety of shields I have made specifically to my specs, in a variety of colours and finishes.
my prices include skinning, boiling and cleaning, cutting if required, degreasing and whitening:
fox/muntjac/cwd/roe £25
fallow/sika/red £30
horned animals- price varies depending on size but starts at £35
supply of shield including fitting £30-£65 (depending on size, material, finish etc)
engraved brass effect plaque including fitting £12.50
if you have any questions or would like a quote on fitting to a shield etc please don't hesitate to contact me
. I am based near Matlock, Derbyshire but have heads posted to myself from all over the UK. I have some very good quality boxes to ship the heads back in to ensure they're not damaged. I aim to have all heads returned to their owners within a week of receipt.
Thanks for looking and hope to hear from you soon
Matt
