"FALL 2008 SEMINAR INFO"

I have just completed the plans for our first "C.A.T. Members" fall seminar.  We actually hope to put together a fall and a winter seminar this year. This fall seminar will be held at my shop in Marysville on the weekend of September 13th and 14th. This will be a classic deer head seminar with the hopes of taking a deer head from start to finish.

The first day we will work on prep work and actually mounting the head. On the second day, we will use a second head that has dried and we will clean it up and apply fillers. Later that day, we will take a head that is ready for finish and apply the finishing touches. This will be a great opportunity for everyone to see one taken from beginning to end.

You won’t want to miss it! There will be a $25 fee to attend this seminar. Lunch will be provided. Please call me at (530) 741-0843 any day before 8 p.m., so I will know how many to expect.

If you are not a current C.A.T. Member, you may join at the seminar. There will be a Board Of Directors business meeting.     Steve Stassi  C.A.T. President


"WINTER 2008 SEMINAR INFO"

A "C.A.T. Members" seminar/workshop was held in mid February, 2008. Mark Dias, Chuck Testa
and Brent Nobles hosted the seminar/workshop at Mark’s shop in Hollister, CA.

Members of C.A.T., that were having a problems with or just wanted a hand with a particular life-size mount or a game head, brought their pieces and received assistance. Mark, Chuck and Brent assisted with portions of the mounting process that members were having difficulty with.

The seminar/workshop was a weeklong affair, with space for up to 4 persons each day. Several mounts were completed. The following pictures are provided courtesy of member Tim Linn.
