GAMEBIRD TAXIDERMY WITH FRANK NEWMYER

GAMEBIRD TAXIDERMY WITH FRANK NEWMYER Frank Newmyer, besides being the "winningest" taxidermist of all time, has done more to advance the artistic aspect of taxidermy than any other individual. His bird work has inspired a generation of new taxidermists. WASCO is proud to be the new publisher of this classic taxidermy instruction manual. Through a special agreement with the former publisher, Stackpole Books, this new trade edition is now published by WASCO along with our Breakthrough Wildlife Artist Manuals. Written by world champion bird taxidermist Frank Newmyer and wildfowl art writer Roger Schroeder, this book is an in-depth look at the step-by-step procedures that set Franks' work apart from all the rest. Frank uses a specially commissioned wood duck to demonstrate taxidermy's most current techniques. Included are instructions for design, anatomy, making eyelids and creating those wonderful habitats Frank is known for.

They didn't even touch upon 1/10th of the material in the book.""I'd recommend them to the first time novice or a veteran commercial taxidermist--they both will find them worth every penny.""I've been a taxidermist for 12 years. These manuals have shown me things that will start saving me time and money immediately!""A real pleasure--I stayed up half the night reading. You guys have really outdone yourselves this time.""I wanted to write and say thanks for providing some great learning materials that have helped me learn more about taxidermy than I thought possible in such a short time."
