I want to congratulate Traven Rowe of Savannah, Ohio for completing my three day Deer Mounting course.  We fleshed and tanned four deer capes and mounted two of his deer heads which he bought with him.  I have attached photo's of Traven in action turning the ear's and making adjustments to the ears and eyes on his mounts.  It was indeed a pleasure working with Traven.

Now is the time for you to consider getting that much needed training.  We offer the Best Instruction and our classes are strictly one on one.  You bring your capes and antlers and you put them together under the Instruction of John Griffith who is considered one of the World's leading Instructor.  Check out our website at www.griffithtaxidermy.com

Thanks,

John Griffith

We had a very busy week here at Griffith's Big Game Taxidermy School.  Traven Rowe came back for my advanced class for a week and we mounted 4 Whitetail's.  Traven did his first pedestal mount which was a Hugh 8 pt from Ohio.  Also, we altered different forms to create the pose he wanted.

Now is the time to seek that training.  Don't let time kill you in waiting to make a choice as to where you are going to seek that training.  Here at Griffith's Taxidermy School (www.griffithtaxidermy.com) we only do one on one instruction and believe me it's the perfect environment for learning.  John Griffith is considered one of the leading Instructor's in the World in Game Head mounting.  So, contact us and get started.

Below is some of Traven's work he did this past week. 

Traven was a pleasure to work with and his work really shows that he intends to be one of the BEST Game Head Taxidermist in the World.  Congratulations again to Traven Rowe of Savannah, Ohio.

I want to congratulate Ritchie Dabb of Eden, N.C. for selecting our Big Game Taxidermy School for his advancement in knowledge about Game Heads.  Ritchie was a very open minded student and done very well.  In two days we fleshed out two whitetails and tanned them.  Then on the second day we mounted a complete should mount deer.

You can see Ritchie setting the eyes for our mount.  Ritchie will be back in two weeks to mount two whitetails which he took this past hunting season.  Watch for further photo's.

Now is the time to seek that much needed training.  John Griffith is one of the World's leading Big Game Instructor's so just check us out at www.griffithtaxidermy.com

Congratulations Kenny!

We had another repeat student here at Griffith's Big Game Taxidermy.  Steve Wheeler of Zanesville, Ohio spent 4 days with us and we mounted a Black Bear rug head mount, a full body Black Bear, a pedestal Elk Mount and a Large Whitetail deer shoulder mount.  Steve is a very talented person and it really shows in his work.  He has been here a couple times before and his work now is top notch as you can see in the below photo's.

Here at Griffith's taxidermy we only instruct students in a one on one environment. John Griffith is one of the World's leading instructors in Big Game Head Mounting.  Just ask our students about what's taught here at our studio or check us out on the web at www.griffithtaxidermy.com  Thanks.

Just wanted to show some work that Coleman Zell from Covington, Ohio did this week while he was here for Deer head
Training.  Coleman was a very quick learner and we mounted two deerheads and pair of deer feet in two days.  It was a pleasure working with Coleman and he will be back in two weeks to finish these deer heads.

If you feel like your work needs improvement now is the time to call John Griffith.  John is one of the World's leading Instructors in Big Game Head Mounting.  Check our website out at www.griffithtaxidermy.com
