Preserving memories for a lifetime.
I am David Barb; I grew up hunting, fishing, and loving the outdoors. As my life has gone on, I have always cherished those memories, especially the many hunts I’ve been on with family and friends. I still look at the many euro mounts on my wall and can recall very specific details of that moment from years gone by. Knowing how much my personal skulls mean to me I established BFE Custom LLC in 2022 to bring everyone’s memories home for a lifetime to come.
I am a single owner-operator Nevada based business providing the taxidermy services of skull cleaning, and heavy-duty decorative skull hangers. My cleaning process is a “low and slow” process, meaning I don’t just boil your trophy one afternoon, and send it home. I use a process called maceration keeping the bone under 100 degrees to get all the meat and fat off. It then goes into a degrease bath until all grease is gone. The degreasing stage is the longest portion of my process, taking weeks to even months on some stubborn skulls. This process is gentle on the bones helping maintain the delicate nasal turbinate bones. Once grease free I will whiten your skull, and your trophy will be ready for display.
There are many display options on the market today, including the ones I have developed over the years. All of my hangers are cut, welded, powder coated, packaged and shipped right here in Northern Nevada. I personally have all my skulls on these hangers and have sold hundreds across the western states. With quite a few options to accent your hard-earned trophy I am always working on more designs. From cleaning your buck or bull to displaying it on the wall you can rest assured that every process and piece that leaves my shop will be treated as if it were my own. Shoot straight, hit em hard, and give me a shout when you want that memory preserved for a lifetime.
