Title: 6'9" Black Bear Rug w/Skull (MNTaxidermy)
Post by: Michelle_Nelson on July 13, 2010, 05:19:45 PM
Here is a 6'9" Black Bear Rug I finnished yesterday also.  It just left the shop about 30 minutes ago.  The Pictures really show the chocolate in the face.  Very little blond in the muzzle.  The Bear is sitting on a Queen size bed sheet.

Here is the thread to the skull.  "19 1/8" Bear Skull"

I bet it is killing you even more after I told you last night your Black Bear was just a really muddy Dark Chocolate with blond tips down it's back.  :chuckle:  I knew it was a chocolate after washing it when you dropped it off guess it was to muddy to see the blond highlights til i picked uit up from the tannery.

epq21 I just picked up your Bear from the tannery and ordered your pannel a few days ago.

Very nice mount as usual.  Do you ever get a mount that doesn't turn out to your standards or are you able to fix them all up pretty well?

You should see the charity case she took in last year.  The bear looked like it had been skinned with a hand grenade.. :chuckle:  She sewed, patched, stretched and pieced that thing back together into a fine looking rug.  I've never seen anything like it.

Pathfinder I agree that was a major transformation from nothing to a nice rug!!

You guys have to be talking about "Patches".  That thing was a mess but Bear repairs on the main body cover up pretty easy unless it is in the arm pits or flanks.
