Fish Replicas

I’ve had this project in my head for several years that involves a piece of wood burl that is sort of a family heirloom that was passed down to me by my dad. I’ve wanted to do something special with it so it could be displayed for people to see so I decided to make it part of a fish mount. I’ve also always wanted a spawning Kokanee salmon mount so I put these two ideas together. I am more than excited about how it turned out. The quality of the paint job is phenomenal. Ken at the FishMountStore did a great job if any of you have been wanted a fish replica. https://www.fishmountstore.com/

Very cool!

Wow that’s gorgeous! You’re Dad would be proud of what you did with that piece of wood!

SWEET !!!
that is a dandy job Dave!!

forty years ago had IDO existed then that fish would of been on the whats for supper thread and the wood tossed in the wood burning stove.
sad part is I had to look up what burl was,now that I know,we burnt a fortunes worth of that stuff from hickory’s,oak,maple,,

Beautiful

Thanks, I was so worried that I’d shell out a load of money and get a poor finish. A picture just can’t do justice to how beautiful it looks in person.

Never told a man this before, but I really wish I could see your wood in person.

Beautiful.

That turned out awesome Dave… Good choice.

Very nice Dave. Something to be proud of.
