Sailfish Restoration

We restored a sailfish from 1962. Real head and fins, cedar, plaster and burlap body.
Our client, Susan was very passionate about this 49 year old fish as it was caught by her mother. We pulled out all the stops on this one. The soft spots and cracks were repaired with automotive  putty primed and sanded multiple times, the original real fins were rebuilt, and reinforced with polyester resin and fiberglass, and the old deteriorated plywood sail was replaced by a brand new fiberglass one courtesy New Wave taxidermy.  We are extremely happy with the results.

It was a challenge to say the least!
