039: Field Care For Preserving Your Mounts | William Platell

Today’s yarn is all about learning tips and tricks to best preserve that animal of a lifetime in preparation for Taxidermy. 

For this one we have called upon the CEO of Riverleigh Taxidermy, William Platell. William has been involved in Taxidermy since he was 13 years old and after careers as a boiler maker and a period of enrolment in the Australian military he decided to go balls to the wall and start his own full time business, Riverleigh Taxidermy. 

William is one of the most passionate guests we have had on the show and his genuine love of the art of Taxidermy shines though in each word he shares on this one. 

Topics include:
• Correct cuts to make
• Caping tips
• Tools required
• Preservation techniques
• Storage of capes
• Processes involved in creating the piece of art that is Taxidermy 

William shares a heap of knowledge bombs for us all to assist us when out in the field after we put an animal on the ground. 

It was a pleasure to sit down and yarn with a person as positive and passionate  as William Platell. 

This is his story.
