McKenzie has a modern, state-of-the-art wood shop that can handle any custom job, from the simplest panel to a full trophy room, with the quality and efficiency that you have come to expect from the leader in taxidermy design and innovation. This 12,000-square-foot facility in North Carolina has all the latest woodworking equipment to produce anything your imagination can conceive.



Six-head CNC routers use computer-aided design to cut precision parts with incredible quality and perfect consistency, from the smallest panel to the largest habitat base. McKenzie’s computerized molder is capable of cutting a variety of profiles for bases, furniture, cabinetry, chair rails, baseboards, and crown molding, so the design of the entire trophy room can be fully coordinated with stunning cohesiveness.


Lasers are used to engrave custom artwork, including images, company names, logos, photos or trophy information. The laser is powerful enough to cut through the wood to create stunning intricate inlays. Inlays can be designed to sit proud of the surface or as full inlays, where one type of wood is flush with another type of wood or material, such as the mother of pearl.


In the spray booth, McKenzie’s expert finishers apply beautiful stains and durable finishes. Custom pedestals of any size or design, custom panels in any shape, including states and countries, custom inlays or engraving; if you can imagine it, the McKenzie wood shop team can build it for you quickly and inexpensively. You’ve seen the huge variety of beautiful stock wood items in the McKenzie catalog. Hundreds of designs and finishes are available to order right off the shelf and available for pickup in six regional distribution centers.


You can also modify any of McKenzie’s existing items by changing the size, dimensions, wood, or finishes. You can add personalized touches like custom laser engraving, insets, or accessories. Exotic woods like wormy maple or ambrosia can be used for construction, or you can modify existing designs by adding shelves or doors to pedestal bases.


Entire trophy room packages with coordinated bases, furniture, molding, and flooring can be produced— along with the rocks for mountains— and all delivered on one truck with one call.
The experienced staff of wood artists can assist you with your designs and suggest finishes that make your taxidermy displays one-of-a-kind and set your work apart from the mundane. Each custom project is given individual attention to detail that will ensure success and a satisfied client.

The typical lead time is only two to three weeks. When a job is quoted, McKenzie will give you a firm time frame for production.
