5'3" Color Phase Black Bear Rug. Closed Mouth (MNTaxidermy)

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.
