5'8" Black Bear Rug with no felt (MNTaxidermy)
« on: April 03, 2012, 03:12:15 PM »
Here is another Bear Rug that I finnished up a couple months ago.  Thought I'd post some pictures up.  This one was done with no felt by special request.  This Bear and the 4'4" Color Phase were killed by a couple of brothers.

Then when company comes over that is freaked by taxi'd animals, you can turn it upside down and it looks like your coat laying on the floor  :chuckle:

These are the first 2 I've ever done and it is taking me a little longer to warm up to the idea of No Felt.  Personally I like my Rugs with Felt.  Thats just me though.   :chuckle:

I have to agree with the rest, it looks better without the felt. 

Does the price change any?

I am hoping to put an arrow in one, this fall, and my Home Regime said it would be made into a rug.  Michelle, you know where I'm coming to get it done.  ;-)

I really like the no felt! What town are you actually located in? I think I'm going to be moving pretty close to you know.

Question I got a grizz last year that I just had tanned out. Is okay looking but would I ever be able to have it rugged? Tanned its around 8' 3"

thanks
