    Why teams select us

    Over 50 years of craft

    A continuous habitat and taxidermy tradition rooted in the Stehling family studio, carried forward by the same hands that built the work in our portfolio.

    In-house fabrication

    Sculpting, molding, casting, painting, and finishing all happen in our own Wisconsin facilities — not subcontracted out — so quality and schedule stay under one roof.

    Taxidermy and habitat under one roof

    As a division of Stehling's Taxidermy, we can deliver both the specimens and the environment they live in, matched to each other from the start.

    Restoration as well as new build

    We refresh and conserve aging exhibits, which lets institutions extend the life of existing galleries within tighter budget cycles.
