    Anyone on here a taxidermist? Quick question, if you had all the supplies, and a tanned hide ready to go, how much time would it take to create a good quality mount?

    I'm not a taxi, but have a good friend who is and am good friends with the taxidermy studio that does all of mine. I was told, about 1 week total, with drying time included.

    To get everything set and sowed 1/2 a day. Another week to 2 weeks max to dry and set, and another 1/2 day to paint and detail.
