Pricing
Service price guide.
Every project starts with a conversation. The numbers below are the structure — your specific quote depends on species, size, pose, base and finish details.
How pricing works
No "per inch" charge for replicas.
Quoted prices are good for at least 30 days. Prices DO NOT include shipping the finished mount or replica to your home or business — that's quoted separately at the end.
For replicas: I price the finished work, not the inch. Different manufacturers price the same length differently — sometimes by a wide margin — so a flat per-inch number would either short you or short me. Bring me your length, girth, weight and a good photo and I'll quote it honestly.
Driftwood, finished panels, habitat bases, nameplates and special poses are extra and quoted line-by-line.
