Some of Michael's favorite jobs include a museum in Farmington New Mexico for a dear friend, the late past Governor Tom Bolack. He reproduced life like habitats to house approximately 600 animals and over1000 fish. Pictures are available in the reference books Trophy Rooms Around The World 3, and Great Hunters.

He took time out to do several different trophies for fishing tournaments. They were limited edition sculptures, limited to 30 pieces each for Sailfish Point, and Stuart Sailfish Club. Michael also co-sculpted a piece for a sporting goods shop in Japan with artist Tom Sexton of a Bass 8 ft in length. Michael made several trips to do some molding projects with long time friend the late Ian Pike from Australia . He and Ian made several large Black Marlin molds, and some hundreds of tropical beauties from the Great Barrier Reef , We also were consigned to do several of the rarest species for the new I.G.F.A. building. The fish will represent the record catches from all over the world.. Michael and our staff enjoyed doing the Martin County "Turtles on Parade". This large turtle was sculpted by Michael and casts were made at our shop. The casts were sold to the individuals to decorate them, and later auctioned them for a benefit.
At latest he was contracted to do a project with the artist Donald Lipski from New York . This art exhibit can be seen at Concourse D at Miami International Airport . There are 90 constellations of fish making different patterns, consisting of 500 fish.
Michael has great talents as a reproduction artist, this is one way to exhibit his craft.

Treat yourself to a tour through the shop. His staff of artists will greet you and help in making your fishing experience a pleasant one, with a mount you can be proud of for a lifetime. The difference in dealing with New Wave Taxidermy Inc. is Our Staff " loves what they do and it shows".
