Materials and Methods

These are pre-made or custom-carved forms that provide the internal structure of the animal. They are shaped to replicate the animal’s body, ensuring that the skin fits naturally. Forms are available for a wide variety of species and body poses. For smaller or more flexible animals like birds, small mammals, or reptiles, wire armatures may be used to build a custom internal frame, giving the taxidermist more control over the animal’s posture and positioning.
The skin or hide of the animal is treated with tanning agents, which prevent decay and help maintain the skin’s elasticity and natural look. Tanning oils and chemicals prevent the skin from cracking or deteriorating over time. Borax or salt is often used during the initial preservation process to draw out moisture from the hide before tanning. This prevents decomposition until the skin is ready to be mounted.
