FISH TAXIDERMY Like You've Never Seen Before • Epoxy Ice Slab!

Описание: Biggest fish in the lake gets a pedestal! Take your next fish taxidermy project to the next level with tips and advice learned during the creation of this super cool under-the-ice endeavour. My ten pound rainbow trout caught while ice fishing is made into a replica and mounted to a curated piece of driftwood on an artificial sandy shoal. The coolest part of the mount, though, is a 4 inch slab of ice made with two part, slow-set epoxy, complete with an 8 inch ice auger hole and a spring-loaded fish hook. A two year semi-DIY vision finally becomes a reality with a beautiful addition to the man cave.

All comments welcome. Reach out if you have any questions regarding this project and we'd be happy to answer them. Tight lines, friends!

Special Thanks to:

Advanced Taxidermy in Ontario, Canada for the awesome replica!
Curtis Fischer at Silver Willow Taxidermy in Alberta for the habitat collaboration!
Trustic for your high quality epoxy and pigments!
My pal, Quinton, for his hands-on epoxy expertise!

And last, but not least, my son Tyler for letting his old man get to the Jawjacker before him. :)
