Frequently Asked Questions

Does The Secret Chamber do standard trophy mounts, or only artistic pieces?
They handle both. While the shop has a strong artistic identity, they're equipped to produce traditional deer, bird, and small game mounts alongside more decorative or themed work. You can discuss what style fits your space when you drop off your specimen.
Can I buy a pre-made taxidermy piece without bringing in my own animal?
Yes, the gallery and oddities side of the shop typically carries finished pieces, antique mounts, and natural history specimens for sale. It's worth calling ahead to ask what's currently in stock.
How long does a typical mount take to complete in Fairborn?
Turnaround times vary depending on the type of animal and how busy the studio is, but most mammal mounts take several months from drop-off to pickup. Bird and fish mounts can sometimes be completed faster, so it's best to ask for a specific estimate when you bring your specimen in.
Do they work with museums or educational institutions?
Given their background in art and oddities, this studio is well positioned to work with schools, museums, or collectors looking for display-quality pieces. Contact them directly to discuss project scope and pricing for institutional orders.
What should I do with my animal before bringing it in?
Proper field care matters a lot. Keep the animal cool or frozen as soon as possible after harvest, and avoid cutting the hide in areas you want preserved. Call the shop before dropping off so they can give you specific handling instructions for your type of specimen.
Is there parking available near the shop in Fairborn?
Fairborn is a small city with generally accessible parking in most commercial areas. It's a good idea to call ahead, especially if you're transporting a large specimen, so staff can assist with drop-off logistics.
