Don has done three table mounts for me (pictured below).  All three are wonderful to look at and receive no end of compliments.  He also just completed (in early December 2007) a mount of my 12-year old son's first walleye - a 28", 6 1/2 lb. beast taken from Lake Erie in May.  My son loves it.

28" WALLEYE

I left the creative part up to Don and as you can see, he did his usual great job.  I highly recommend Don to anybody looking for a top-of-the-line mount.

If you're in the Kalamazoo area, pay a visit to Don's studio in Gobles, Michigan about 10 miles north of Exit 60 (Paw Paw) on I-94.   He has numerous examples of work he's done over the years.  Give him a call for specific directions.
