Scott,

Here she is, almost ready to go together, you said you wanted to see the progress of it. So here you go, all those form modifications though, going to have to charge you extra. You better have an ice cold ginger ale in hand when you come and get her.

Looks good so far Joe. Must be a pretty good friend for doing all that extra work for no charge. Would like to see the two together after you get her finished.

You know I offered to pay him for the extra work but he refused to take it as he refuses to charge anyone for "minor" modifications. We are great friends but I don't ever ask or expect any discounts on the basis of our friendship. As I have learned from Joe; you Taxi's put alot of time into these animals and you guys don't make too much on the work put into them. With Joe's already low prices and great work I am extremely happy with taking my animals to him for what his rates are. He has six mounts that he is currently working on for me and has already done 2 animals for me last year.

Joe,
 
  She is gonna look AWESOME next to my buck. I am extremely excited to get them both on the wall along with the other mounts. I cannot thank you enough for your work you have done for me and continue to do. I will definitely have that ICE cold ginger ale for you; maybe even 2.

And another plan comes together, now Scott if you read above it specifically says in HAND. You have now agreed to that ( see above) so that means one of two things. 1. You fly your butt back to Washington from hawaii and hand deliver them. 2. You get a nice guest room made up for the wife, the child and I to come and visit Hawaii and have free room and board and a couple of ice cold ginger ales!!!!!!  Which one you want??

Scott, It makes it all worth it when people like you really appreciate what it takes to get you a nice animal back in return. When you get customers that continues to bring you business you deserve the little extras for no charge. First and most important of all I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for serving our country  :tup: :tup: :tup:

You know I use to question why Taxi's charged so much but after watching and learning from Joe it has completely changed my perspective. I personally don't think I would have the patience to sit there and sew an animal together for hours on end. Let's not even get into taking the cape off of the predators;  as I learned this the hard way working on a coyote myself. The claws kicked my butt for several hours and Joe got more than a few laughs out of that one. 
Thank you for the kind words as well and you are certainly welcome.

Drying time, both completed now to dry and then finish off. About another week and they will be ready for shipping
