Here is a 12 point deer trophy mount that took me over a year to mount:

 The hunter picked him up today and I believe he was satisfied.

Even though I've been doing this job for years, I still worry that the client may not be completely thrilled with the final product.  It's challenging to be an artist and pour your heart and soul into a piece, even if it's technically a commercial venture, and then separate your self worth with the final product.

I wonder if folks in other lines of work lie awake at night fretting over whether or not they've sung a song perfectly, diagnosed a patient correctly or served an ice cream cone to the best of their ability.

Waste Not...

Remember that rat I mounted a few months back?  I also preserved her skull, here are some photos, please enjoy!
