D'Angelo, a solid man with wavy dark brown hair, works alone - cutting, lifting, stocking, scrubbing, and making exotic sausages out of elk, wild boar, rabbit, and other meats. He has the occasional helper, but no one regularly wielding the saws or working on more-than-century-old equipment in the shop, whose tiled walls are lined with hooks and stuffed birds and game. Taxidermy and hunting are two hobbies, as are vegetable gardening and raising orchids.
