What we do
Taxidermy
Taxidermy is the heart of Timoland. Every mount is made in our studio in Bathurst, with Tim personally overseeing each one and you involved in the decisions that matter: the pose, the base and the finish.
Choose the style that suits the animal and the room it will live in. Our price list covers 40 species, and we will quote anything that is not on it.
