Hey guys, here is a half mount bear I just finished up today . That thing was a dandy bear , if I remember right it was 20 on the skull or close to it dry. I much rather do something like this than a rug , but thats just me . At least it looks "half" way natural

Enjoy the pics .

Great mount. Looks like it was starting to show some cinnamon on it's sides...

Michelle_Nelson · « **Reply #15 on:** May 03, 2013, 10:47:49 AM »

More than likely the cinnamon your seeingis a rub spot. Your seeing the under wool because the guard hairs have been broken off.

Bears have 2 different types of hair. Guard hair which on this bear is black and the bears keep all year long. The second type is the Under wool, which the bear grows in the fall to keep warm in winter. The under wool on black bears can vary in color. The most common on black bears is black and brown. Though I have seen grey and lighter browns.

Question for you: I have a dry tan of a bear I shot a few years ago, could it be turned into a half mount?

What tannery tanned the bear? A couple years is fine if it is a good tannery with a good tan.

A local shop in my area, it's in good shape, just was curious instead of doing a rug

Not all tanneries are created equal, trust me on this . Thats why I asked which tannery . I have had people bring in stuff that was tanned and in good shape by looking at it only to rehydrate and have it fall apart (acid rot ) or not streatch (dead hide) . In fact I have one right now a guy brought me that was tanned about 10 years ago that has no streatch or what streatch it does have is more like the streatch you would get out of a rubber band , streatch it out and it goes right back to where I started. Im going to attempt to do a half mount as it was a real nice spring bear. The best tans I have had were the synthetic tans in the ez-100 for longetivity and being able to rehydrate them after being tanned for quite a fiew years . Alum tans are bad for not rehydrating , they have been best used when fresh, I have had Lutan-f tans that dont rehydrate well after quite a few years thats what that spring bear I rehydrated is.
