taxidermy and high horses

There is more of it about than you might think apparently.

cheap and nicer looking than board
I complete the cubical with clothing rails

Wait a minute.

It's where you live, isn't it?

The only time you are indoors is at work. The rest of the time you are an Homeless.

I feel dirty just talking to you.

Here. Have a pound. And buy a cup of tea, not a bottle of meths, you grubby man.

I have a pigeon behind my desk, a ferret to my right and deer head And gul in front.

..so that's the lyrics..

Pope Mouse?

That question has been asking a fair few times over the last 3 months I spent atleast twice as much time at work than i did in my cardboard box.

I have the opportunity of picking up some old taxidermist animals from a university dept that's shutting down but I've heard arsenic was often used to preserve the animals and this can be a bit of a health hazard, anyone know anything about the use of arsenic in taxidermy? Has arsenic been replaced with another safer chemical and if so, any ideas when?

Get Stuffed!

This appears to be a dissertation on the history of arsenic use in taxidermy:

Cheers, I'll have a read later tonight.

Excellent thread, would read again...

I'd very much like to taxidermy my cat once he dies.

So basically, you want to stuff a dead cat.

If you decide not to take these please let me know, I will happily risk death for a stylish house.

I too would be happy to endanger life and limb for a quirky ornament.

The best piece of taxidermy I ever saw was a hollowed out elephants leg that was made into an umbrella stand

A friend of mine has an elephant's leg made into a stool. It's very old, but still very sad.

UTFS!

Even if the animal has been preserved with Arsenic, surely you would be ok just as long as you didn't lick or otherwise fondle it?

maybe not a good idea.

They are currently being kept in closed cupboards because of the worry about the arsenic, think it can get airborn? Not read that essay yet, it might hold the key.

There's loads of skeletons and stuff too, I reckon I'm gonna be ok with them and unfortunatley the stuff is up here in Glasgow and I don't imagine it'd take well to travelling by courier.

Human skeletons? I'd be very interested if so.

Where would be the fun in that?
