thank you
for choosing
Ozark Woods

Ozark Woods founder Brian Harness always loved observing his pet foxes and bobcats. He took great interest in understanding small mammal behavior and their habits in the wild. His love of the art of taxidermy was apparent in his work and his groundbreaking forms are evidence of his incredible knowledge of animal musculature. You’ll find that Ozark Woods forms are unlike any other taxidermy forms you’ve ever used. Brian worked tirelessly to ensure we always gave our customers the best service, work ethic and supplies. We may have lost Brian in December of 2012, but his legacy continues through our commitment to provide unmatched excellence and quality in all that we do.
