I am looking to have something made. It is very unique and fun. I am looking for a taxidermist that wants to have a little fun with a standard white duck. ( don’t know the “type” just a white duck with orange feet)
I saw on google a duck that had been turned into a lamp. I really liked the idea of a 3D pun in my living room and thought what the heck, I will post on a site full of experts. Since I just joined, I have no clue how to post a picture. It’s a swing arm light and it is in place of the ducks neck and head. Anyone up for the fun?

I’m up for fun but need to see what you are talking about first. Post a link on here so I can look and see how to do it and figure out the cost

nice. I need to find a duck and the right lamp. I will look around and see what I can come up with. I was thinking about contacting the artist and see if he would give me more information. As an artist myself, I find it highly unlikely….lol… Are we allowed to share each others email on here? I need to check the rules again to see if it’s permissible. I would think it easier than having to post on this forum.

Have you had the chance to figure a price or do you even want to attempt my project. Please let me know either way when you can. Thanks.

Well what I charge for regular ducks is $225-$250. This is a specialty project
And will take sometime to make sure everything works like it is suppose to.
So I was in the ball park of $325-$350. Let me know what you think and let
Me know if you have the duck and light.
Have a good one

350.00 sound good to me. I am going to try and locate a duck and the light. I know where to get the light, and have a call out to some friends who may know where I may get a duck. I will post progress on here. I really appreciate you taking on this project.

I have been lookin for a duck as well and the Pekin duck is the kind we are looking for. However, the only kind I can find for sale are the hatchlings and then would have to be raised from around 4-8 months before they would be the correct size we would need. I will keep looking and you do the same and we will see what we can come up with. Talk to ya later

Not really. I did tell a friend of mine that I cannot find any. Well he’s going to get a couple at a farm auction this weekend when he picks up some chicks. I don’t know how long it takes for them to get big, but at least we have one that will be for our cause! LOL
