Taxidermy simple question? Please Read.?

This is probably a very silly question …. I bought a 30 "taxidermy skin after a pike on eBay that I caught a 29 1 / 2 "fish in my camping trip to Saranac Lake. At the auction, said the driftwood was not included because it would be too heavy ship. The fish came with what looked like points and two 1 / 4 inch metal rods protruding from its side. How the hell am I supposed to mount this on the wall? Do I have to buy a piece of wood in order to show it? And another thing … I said at the nearby house taxidermist to skin mounts of fish tend to putrefaction, decay and should be re-done every five years. I keep this from happening. Does anyone have any other suggestions to show the fish in a glass case? If I had known, I have gotten a replica mount … Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Yes, the skin mounts have a tendency to decline. Although I have one that has been around for 20 + years and remains fairly well. You can put several coats of varnish or a clear polyurethane to protect it and make it last longer. Other than that I really have no suggestions

Still Life (Paperback) $8.58 In her engaging and informative debut, journalist Melissa Milgrom explores the surprisingly lively world of people who stuff dead animals as she chronicles the art (or science?) of taxidermy. Milgrom provides a comprehensive history of taxidermy before setting out to meet some of the more prominent contemporary devotees of this endangered practice, including British artist Damien Hirst and three-time World Taxidermy Champion Ken Walker. After visiting the New Jersey workshop where three generations of taxidermists have stuffed creatures like otters, foxes, and sloths for the diorama displays at the American Natural History Museum in New York, Milgrom catches taxidermy fever and tries to preserve her own specimen, a squirrel, with entertainingly mixed results.

The Authentic Animal (Hardcover) $16.93 Why would someone want to create or own the stuffed body of a dead animal? That’s the question Dave Madden explores in The Authentic Animal. Madden starts his journey with the life story of Carl Akeley, the father of modern taxidermy. Akeley started small by stuffing a canary, but by the end of his life he had created the astonishing Akeley African Wing at The Museum of Natural History. What Akeley strove for and what fascinates Madden is the attempt by the taxidermist to create the authentic animal, looking as though it is still alive. To get a first hand glimpse at this world, Madden travels to the International Taxidermy championship, the garage workplaces of people who mount freeze-dried pets for bereaved owners and the classrooms of a taxidermy academy where students stretch deer pelts over fiberglass bases. On his travels, he looks at the many forms taxidermy takes—hunting trophies, museum dioramas, roadside novelties, pet memorials—and considers what taxidermy has to tell us about human-animal relationships. The Authentic Animal is an entertaining and though-provoking blend of Victorian history, biology, and philosophy that will make readers think twice the next time they scoff at a stuffed moose head on the wall of Uncle Al’s den.

In This Skin $6.38 Out of all the teen pop thrushes of the late ’90s/early 2000s, Jessica Simpson was perhaps the oddest. Not because she was genuinely strange — especially compared to Christina or Pink — but because she never seemed that comfortable with the genre. On her debut, Sweet Kisses, that awkwardness could be written off as first-time jitters, particularly because the album boasted the dynamite single “I Think I’m in Love,” which is about as perfect as pop gets. On her second album, Irresistible, her awkwardness could be attributed to either the fabled sophomore slump or the fact that she was being tarted up too much, presented as a sexy tease when she’s really just the sweet, curvy girl next door. Now, for her third album, In This Skin, she tones down the trashy club beats and image, staying within the contemporary dance-pop realm while inching toward the middle-of-the-road diva that she’s always yearned to be. And that’s the key to Simpson and her records — apart from that brief, brilliant moment on “I Think I’m in Love,” she’s never seemed like she’s wanted to sing pop music. She’s somebody who would have been much more comfortable in an era where she could have been produced by Mitch Miller, not somebody who half-heartedly sings moderately stylish, overly calculated dance-pop. Simpson is not a bad singer, and only when she’s given a show-stopping ballad in the vein of Celine Dion can she really strut her skills. The heart of In This Skin is in the mature middle of the road, while its sound is still pitched young. Simpson is still a sweet, photogenic girl with a good voice, and in her favor, as she gets further removed from her teens, she will be allowed to do more mature material — and this CD is a tentative step in that direction. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi Performers: Jennifer Karr – Vocals (Background); John Catchings – Cello; Jonathan Yudkin – Strings; Julian Bunetta – Strings; Kara DioGuardi – Vocals (Background); Kasia Livingston – Vocals (Background); Victor Lawrence – Cello; Alison Prestwood – Bass; Andy Marvel – Guitar;
