Taxidermy Accessory Items
Taxidermy accessory items may include furnishings like lampstands and book-ends to decorative items like elephant hair bracelets, zebra skin hat bands etc.
After shooting your elephant on a hunt of a lifetime, have you thought about what you can with the skin and parts other than the tusks?
- Most good taxidermists can make some great furnishing items to compliment your wall-mounted or full-mounted trophies.
- Bracelets made from your own elephant tail hairs are popular keepsakes. Usually the camp skinner is a dab hand at knotting these bracelets. If not, ask for the hairs to be saved and your taxidermist can deal with it.
- Also if you have some of your skins leather-tanned (you can choose the colour) they can be sent to be made into many custom leather items like rifle slips, handbags, purses, wallets etc.
- The left elephant ear is shaped like the continent of Africa and can be made into a decorative painted wall-hanging. Have your taxidermist tan the elephant ear, retaining the natural colour and shape - don't have it trimmed to have look more like Africa.
- Just remember to keep the trophy parts you need in order to make items like these....
