5'3" Color Phase Black Bear Rug. Closed Mouth (MNTaxidermy)
« on: March 18, 2013, 02:36:50 PM »
Here's a pic of a 5'3" Color Phase Black Bear Rug with a Closed Mouth.  I've had this one done for over a month but havn't had time to get any pictures posted up.  I've got quite a few more pictures of Mounts/Rugs to post I just havn't had time.  I had a few minutes today so decided to post these up. 

Never been asked to do a closed mouth before on a Black Bear Rug.  I couldn't find a closed mouth rug shell in any of the catologs that I liked, so I made the rug shell for this rug.  I think it turned out pretty nice!

That has to be the nicest bear rug I think I've ever seen. It looks like that thing could get up and walk! Closed mouth is awesome. Nicely done. Very nice work.
Can't we all just get along?
