Greg Lesher has been involved in taxidermy since 1980 and has been a private contract taxidermist almost from the beginning of his involvement in this art. He is committed to detail and bringing the art piece or mount to look as if it were alive. He enjoys creating the habitat scene's for the mounts almost as much as the mount itself. And has created private showrooms much like you see in some famous outfitter stores with the same quality. His work has taken him to northern California, where the current world record holder (fishing class) record, Joey Pallotta caught and had mounted his 468 lb, 9 1/2 ft. sturgeon. Joey needed the work repaired, and liked what he saw in Greg,s work so he had the fish repaired and again was so amazed, that he had a reproduction made and a copy was sold to Ripley's Believe It Or Not museum in San Francisco Greg has entered competitions and has placed in Northern California and Utah. However, he has chosen to make central Utah his home. Greg Lesher is a full service taxidermist and does all his work on site including tanning skins. He is not satisfied with just pickling skins or using instant preserve. He wants his mounts to last lifetimes to come. So there is no shipping out hides to others to be put in line. He also makes his own fish blanks on site as well. This way he can maintain a more natural fish reproduction, thus not looking like an average run of the mill mount. Antler casting and horn casting reproduction can also be done in his shop. |
