COMMISSIONS OPEN JULY 2026

Due to the large amount of pet memorials I am contacted about and clients being unable to store them after passing I have reopened commissions; however I will be prioritising the work for existing clients meaning the turn around time will be longer. I apologise about this but the sheer amount of new work that is coming my way is preventing me from being able to finish jobs for people who have been waiting months and in some cases, years. Preparing a skeleton to a high standard takes a long time and I currently have a huge backlog of work. I’m extremely grateful to all for your patience and for trusting me with your work.

I continue to appreciate everyone’s patience and continued support of my business.

Welcome to my website.

I specialise in skeleton articulation and bird taxidermy primarily for UK and European Museums and private collectors but I have provided work for clients in the USA and the Far East. The majority of my work is pet memorials.

You will find my work in museums in London, York, Leeds, Plymouth, Durham and many others. Many of my clients are private collectors across the country. I also provide work for education and for the Film and TV industry; most recently the Marvel Comics film, ‘Eternals’ and Jurassic World Dominion.

I have also exhibited in public galleries including the Royal College of Art in Kensington and the Menier Gallery in Southwark.

My work also won 1st place at the 2017 Guild of Taxidermists conference for best skeleton articulation.

One of my Dodo casts proudly stood beside the world famous Dippy the Diplodocus skeleton in Birmingham Museum during Dippys’ tour of the UK.

I am based near Birmingham, UK. (Please note I am not open to the public)

Please contact me if you would like to discuss my work.

Thank you, Luke.
