TESTIMONIALS

"Maybe I look at taxidermy different then most people. I see them as true works of art and memories for a lifetime. These aren't just mounts in my house for others to see. They are memories of people, places, and adventures I may never get to experience again. I want them to be the center pieces of my house so I can enjoy them and relive these memories every time I look at them. This is way I use Bill Turner and World Class Artistry. True "Lifelike" taxidermy and artistry every time"

"As an avid hunter I take great pride in the game I pursue.  I try very hard to be ready to make the most ethical shot and I work hard to learn the patterns and behaviors of what I am hunting.  I spend countless of hours throughout he year to sometimes just have that one opportunity I am waiting for.  I can remember the details of preparing, hunting and I when I am blessed to have an opportunity to take an animal I have been hunting the memory of that moment, that will be forever in my mind.  Until I heard of World Class Artistry I was almost disappointed when I received my mounts back.  they lacked what I remembered.  Whether it was a big neck or the sharp features of the face, I always felt like they were missing something. 

 

After receiving my first mount back from one of my favorite hunts I was beyond ecstatic.  The details in the placement of the rack, the eyes, mouth, nose, neck was amazing.  My mount looks likes he's till alive.  Hanging it next to other mounts he stands out like a prized possession, which he is!  There isn't a person that walks into my house and doesn't ask where I had my buck mounted at!

 

You work so hard for that one moment, why wouldn't you send your animal to get mounted at World Class Artistry so when you get it back it looks just like the day you first saw them??  I guarantee you WILL not regret it!  The only thing you'll regret is that you didn't do it sooner!"

"World Class Artistry recreates lifelike taxidermy that will take your breath away. Bill Turner has an eye for detail and produces high quality work. When I harvested my first axis buck I knew WCA was the only taxidermy studio I would trust for the job. Bill walked me through the proper way to store the cape, the shipping process and he spent a significant amount of time discussing options to create the mount that I envisioned. Through the entire process Bill remained in contact keeping me informed as the mount progressed. WCA created a piece of art that I will be able to cherish and enjoy for many years to come."

Reliving Africa Every Day! I spent two years researching and planning a once-in-a-lifetime bowhunting safari to South Africa for my son and I. Just as significant as choosing which professional hunters to guide us, was our choice of who was going to mount these magnificent animals when the hunt was done. While I’ve had work done by a half dozen other taxidermists over the years, I learned that few in the U.S. had the expert skills and experience to truly do African animals justice. Bill is not a taxidermist. He is an artist pure and simple. He has the creativity, the attention to detail and he only settles for perfection. His mounts look alive like no others. My son and I were blessed with 9 animals during our trip, with four Safari Club International Record book entries and World Class Artistry has allowed us to cherish and relive those precious moments every day in our home. I thank Bill for his creative ideas and suggestions. Many of our mounts are truly unique including custom walnut pedestals for our Greater Kudu and Gemsbok. Thanks you Bill, we will continue to appreciate your work for years to come!

Bill Turner's superior craftsmanship is evident in every mount, whether it be your girl's first whitetail shoulder mount or your trophy sized lion.  Every piece is graced with precision.  After personally going through his whitetail course and seeing his process from start to finish, I can attest that he takes no shortcuts and goes the extra mile with every piece.  His work is more than just skilled taxidermy ... it is his passion, and that is why his work stands apart from the rest - and why I trust him to re-create my hard earned trophies.

The first word that comes to my mind when I think of the quality and appearance of Mr. Bill Turner’s mounts and work at World Class Artistry is “impeccable” which has a meaning of faultless, flawless, perfect and irreproachable.  His precision, keen eye for even the finest of details, work ethic, appreciation and love for hunting makes Mr. Turner the best of the very best in not only taxidermy but at being a wonderful friend and person.  I have personally had the honor of admiring his works of art with high hopes to eventually have one mounted in my own home.  If you have not had the chance to see one for yourself then I can say with 100% certainty that your jaw will drop because Mr. Turner has perfected the art of making his mounts look so unbelievably realistic.  Believe me, I stared and adjusted my viewing angles of several mounts completed my Mr. Bill Turner at World Class Artistry and the result from each and every one was unanimous that his mounting skills are absolutely phenomenal. 

​

One thing that I have often had fellow friends ask me when I tell them about World Class Artistry is “why would you ship your animal out of state to someone else”.  Well, the answer is always simple and comes without delay, “I have seen Mr. Turner’s work with my own eyes, I have drooled over it and envied having one of my own and I know that regardless of how many states it is between WCA and I, that in the end, I will have a true work of art that I can be proud of for the rest of my life.”
