Etsy Finds: Wooden Taxidermy

I've got a bit of an obsession with vegan taxidermy. Seeing treeswithknees' fantastic wooden jackalope taxidermy took me on a trip down nostalgia lane with fond memories of putting together wooden dinosaur puzzles as a kid. This item is lasercut and comes all put together. As someone who uses a lasercutter, I know how much time goes into prototyping an item like this: it can take a while to get it to fit together just so!

I've got a vegan jackalope on my wall already or I'd have grabbed this one asap! I hope treeswithknees comes out with other wooden taxidermy animals!

I totally now what you mean about putting together an item like wooden jackalope head.
Very difficult indeed and the result is absolutely great.

I am going to think where should I put this on my house and buy it for shore.

Many thanks for sharing

have a great wekend*

As a vegan, I really get a kick out of this concept! :)

Bre you rock! This collection is awesome, I very rarely see things I itch to own, but this one is making me want to go shopping (really this is the type of things that happened to me maybe once or twice a year when there are no art supply involved...)

Great items! But the octopus tentacles aren't very vegan, are they?
