Taxidermy help

[esoxman]

I am looking for assistance in finding someone that can repair a damaged graphite reproduction of a muskie? I have not seen the damage yet but understand that the tail and atleast one fin have broken off. Is there anyone out there that can point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

I would say Joe Fittante, he's a great artist and craftsman as well as a good friend to Muskies and fisherman, heres his link.

You could also try Rick Lax of Lax Reproductions at the Minnesota Musky Expo in Blaine in March of 2009. I know that's a while to wait, but I have seen these guys fix them right at the show.

The two mentioned are definitely among among the tops around.

But before you send it off, many places that do replicas offer free repairs if your replica ever gets damaged.

It would definitely be worth a call if you know who did the initial work.

Good Luck.

Thanks for the info. I have sent an e-mail off to Joe Fittante to see if he can help me out.
