Burns Lake taxidermist a master craftsman Burns Lake taxidermist, Wolfgang Denne, opened his shop in Burns Lake for business in January 1976. Lizards from New Guinea and a kangaroo hide from Australia in the display area of the taxidermists shop tell the tale of the worldwide travels of Wolfgang. He has been a professional taxidermist for ten years and said he decided to open - a shop in Burns Lake because there were no taxidermists belween Prince George and: Smithers. Further, Wolfgang is an avid hunter and fisherman himself and he thought the Lakes-Nechako area a fine lace to further his hobbies that field. Wolfgang studied taxidermy at the Zoological Institute al the University of Heldleburg. This is the second oldest universily in the world which began in 1368, explains the taxidermist. Both theory and practice were studied by the students for four years and the students had to study skelelons af all types in detail for one full year, from small mice to large naimals like horses. . First animal he ever mounted was a small bird, a magpie and the biggest Wolfgang has worked on was a life size wild boar, “The standards of ‘Canadian taxidermy are poor compared to European Prandards" said the Burns Lake taxidermist. He takes care of getting hides tanned. From there on he makes rugs, heads of all animals, fish mounts, life- size mounts and souvenir items made from hoofs of wild animals. ; . A taxidermists shop is a natural place for fishermen and hunters to get together -- to tell their stories. Wolfgang. hears plenty stories. ‘I just ‘cut their stories in half and believe © half", he says. PLANS TO SPECIALIZE IN FISH MOUNTS Fish mounts in laxidermy Pol require precise and pain- staking work on the part of the taxidermist. The fish must first be completely skinned out and all fat removed. This is very difficult as the skin should not be cut or it will mar the looks of the mounted fish. Onee the fish is skinned the skin is mounted on a styrofoam body. A head and jaw for the fish is moulded out of putty and glass eyes are put in the fish. Fish fins are reinforced with fibreglass so they will last and not get britde and break. . . ~~, The fish ‘colors are touched up by the taxidermist as close to the color of the fish asit appears in nature. The finished product is then mounted on a board and is ready to be displayed wherever the fish owner wants to show off his skill as a fisherman. Biggest fish ever done by Burns Lake taxidermist Wolfgang Denne was a 2 pound char caught by Jerry Hull in Francois Lake. It took many hours to com- plete the mount but the result was a job to be proud of, Wolfgang plans © specalize in fish mounts. to Abbotsford Ruggers here Saturday Action gets underway this Saturday, September 11, beginning at 2:30 p.m. when the Abbotsford Rugby Club, the Lower Mainland First Division Rugby Club, will play Terrace Northmen at the Skeena Secondary school field.
