Title: 5'6" Cinnamon Phase Black Bear Rug (MNTaxidermy)
Post by: Michelle_Nelson on December 13, 2011, 03:54:36 PM: I know it has been a while since I have posted any photos. It's been a crazy year with a lot going on and I havn't had a chance to take photos and get them posted.

This is the second Bear Rug I've done for this guy. It's a 5'6" Cinnamon Color Phased Black Bear. Has a real nice thick coat. This Rug has 2 layers of Coco Brown Felt. The customer asked me to shorten the felt on the Bear so thats what I did. I didn't get quite as many pic's as I wanted and even a couple of the ones I got were not very good because the sun started coming out a few minutes after I started taking them.

Here is a link to some Referance photos of several different Bears that show the wrinkle/lines going from the eye to nose. There are a couple dozen photos when you scroll down.

Here is a link to another thread on HW where Rug pricing was discussed. I have a rough Break down of the Labor and Supplies for a 6' Bear rug in that thred.

The Bear Rug above was aprox $980 after sales tax.

Thanks Michelle. I'll have to keep an eye on the noses next year. It sure makes them look meaner than they really are.
