I was a taxidermist for 33 years and retired from it after the 2023 season. It’s not a big shop at only 550 sq ft and my dream was to fix it up when I retired so it wouldn’t become a junk room.
Some before pics when it was a working shop.
Time to start cleaning everything out. I did tutor two individuals before I started the renovation and did keep enough equipment to continue to do my own personal projects.
Everything pretty much cleaned out.
We decided to line the wall with 8 inch pre finished Pine T&G with matched ends.
My wife was able to help which was greatly needed. We started putting up wood the middle of July and had it done in about 5 weeks.
The garage door you seen earlier was covered up on the inside to make it more efficient both looks and energy and to make the room to come together.
The back room I installed garage cabinets to keep things organized.
In all honesty this would be were all my whitetail mounts would go
I still need to add a tv, a small refrigerator,chair and still need to change out the lighting.
Last year’s buck that I finished up yesterday.
East wall same room and where the tv will go
North wall
West wall
All three of my kids have a mount but my daughter said she was keeping hers. The two older boys said I could hang theirs in the back room so heavens yes I accepted.
This was a very rewarding project and a dream come to.
Thanks for looking
