About Trophy WoodCraft

Services & Process

Trophy WoodCraft's blend of carpentry, furniture making, and taxidermy sets them up to offer custom display solutions that most taxidermists can't match. Antler chandeliers, custom wood plaque mounts, and built-in display cabinetry for trophy rooms are the kinds of projects that fit naturally in their wheelhouse. On the taxidermy side, shoulder mounts, European skull mounts, and antler mounting are all likely services. The wood finishing and carpentry side means you can also expect high-quality bases, pedestals, and furniture pieces that incorporate your mounts into the overall design.

Service Area

Trophy WoodCraft serves customers throughout the southwest Salt Lake Valley, including South Jordan, Herriman, Bluffdale, and Draper. Riverton's location along Bangerter Highway makes it easy to reach from most parts of the valley without heading into downtown Salt Lake City traffic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you build a custom wood plaque or panel for my existing mount?
Yes. If you have a mount that came back from another taxidermist on a basic panel, Trophy WoodCraft can build a custom wood display piece to upgrade it. Options include walnut, oak, or reclaimed wood with carved details or personalized engravings.
What kinds of furniture or decor items can incorporate antlers or mounts?
Antler chandeliers and lamps are very popular, as are coat racks, headboards, and table bases that use real antler sets. For wall-mounted pieces, custom frames, carved plaques, and shadow boxes that combine the mount with hunting memorabilia are all options worth asking about.
Do you do taxidermy and woodworking on the same project simultaneously?
Yes, that's one of the advantages of a combined shop. The wood elements and the taxidermy work can be coordinated so they finish around the same time, and they're designed to fit together from the start rather than retrofitted after the fact.
What types of wood do you typically use for trophy displays?
Walnut and oak are common choices because they're durable and pair well with the natural look of mounts. Reclaimed barn wood has also become popular for a rustic aesthetic. The choice usually comes down to the style of the room where the piece will be displayed.
Can you help design a full trophy room in a new home build?
Absolutely. Working with a carpenter and taxidermist in the same shop makes it much easier to plan a trophy room from scratch. They can help you think through wall space, lighting placement, and how to arrange mounts for maximum visual impact.
Is Trophy WoodCraft a good option for someone who doesn't want a traditional wall mount look?
It's actually one of the best options for exactly that. If you want your mounts incorporated into the architecture of your home rather than just hung on the wall, a business with woodcraft skills can turn your trophies into real design features.
