Custom Mount Options

At Savage Creations Taxidermy, you can choose from a wide range of custom mounting options, including both classic and artistic designs:

Shoulder Mounts with Artistic Backboards

We can incorporate decorative panels, backdrops, or lighting for a refined wall display.

Pedestal Mounts

Freestanding mounts that showcase the animal from all angles. Ideal for large rooms, trophy areas, or lodge entries. Bases can include wood, stone, or natural habitat materials.

Wall Pedestal Mounts

These angled designs create depth and movement, displaying more shoulder and profile for a dynamic, lifelike appearance.

Habitat Scene Mounts

We recreate the animal’s natural environment — from rocky mountain slopes to forest floors — using realistic vegetation, dirt textures, and terrain features.

Group and Companion Displays

For hunters with multiple animals from the same trip, we can design connected or matching mounts that share a cohesive theme.

Full-Body Custom Mounts

Capture the animal in action — running, standing alert, or mid-stride. These mounts are fully sculpted and balanced for anatomical precision and dramatic presentation.

The Savage Creations Custom Mounting Process

1

Consultation and Design

We begin by learning about your hunt, your goals, and your preferred display space. We sketch and plan the pose, base, and environment to match your vision.

2

Hide Preparation and Tanning

All hides are sent to a professional tanning service, where expert techniques prevent cracking and hair slip while maintaining flexibility and natural color.

3

Form Selection and Modification

Commercial forms are customized or sculpted from scratch to match the animal’s measurements and posture. We shape musculature, facial structure, and stance by hand.

4

Mounting and Detailing

The hide is fitted carefully for natural expression and symmetry. We hand-paint and finish features like eyes, nose, and inner ears for realism.

5

Habitat Building

We design and build custom bases or wall scenes using durable materials and realistic vegetation. Every texture and color is chosen to complement the mount.

6

Final Inspection and Delivery

Before delivery, we inspect every detail for accuracy, strength, and lifelike finish. You’ll receive a lasting piece that’s both artistic and authentic.

Our Commitment to Craftsmanship

Savage Creations Taxidermy is known across Greeneville and East Tennessee for our dedication to authentic artistry and family-driven quality.

Instead, we focus on creating a finished piece that honors your memory, your hunt, and the animal itself.

Your satisfaction is our priority, and your finished mount is a reflection of our passion for preservation and pride in craftsmanship.
