A4 ring binder with an introduction and step-by-step instructions for the (beginning) mammal taxidermist, 130 pages with more than 400 color photographs. Language: Dutch.
'This book is intended for anyone who wants to delve deeper into the process of mammalian taxidermy and doesn't quite know where to start,' says author Janneke Vos, an emerging talent and professional taxidermist. In her book, she describes her experiences from the first 10 years of her career, hoping to give readers a head start.
The book covers various topics such as animal preservation, the applicable regulations, cost calculations, the making of death masks and pedestals, and the finishing and restoration of taxidermy specimens. And, of course, she describes in detail her techniques for preparing a stone marten, both life-size and a shoulder taxidermy specimen (trophy head).
It is a fantastic manual for beginning mammal taxidermists, but certainly also interesting for more experienced taxidermists. The book contains 130 pages with more than 400 color photos, easy-to-understand text, and overviews of the tools and materials you need. In Dutch.
