Thegrayghost Report post Posted June 23, 2014 So here is my 21 1/16 inch bear. My brother just finished bleaching it. A friend of mine gave me the wood mount and here is the finished product. My first thought was to bronze the skull. What do you guys think. Should I leave it the way it is or bronze the skull?? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flatlander Report post Posted June 23, 2014 There is no way I would ever dip that skull in anything. that is an awesome presentation the way you have it. I may have to build something similar for my bear. Congrats on a BRUTE! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Couestracker Report post Posted June 23, 2014 I agree with Flatlander, it's awesome just the way it is. Very cool plaque as well. Does your friend make plaques as a hobby or for sale? I'd be interested in having some made if he's interested. Do you have a field photo of your bear and a story of your hunt? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tjhunt2 Report post Posted June 23, 2014 Now that gives me an idea. You ask for our opinion so here's mine. Although your skull mount looks awesome I think the skull would stand out even more so if the wood was darker like maybe walnut. Thanks for sharing!

Thegrayghost Report post Posted June 23, 2014 Couestraker check the story in the bear forum I think it's under state record and scroll down to my post. As for the plaque, it was given to him and he didn't need it. But I do know a guy who can make them. Let me know what you need and I can let him know and see if he is interested in making some for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coues79 Report post Posted June 23, 2014 That's a good bear. No way in the world I would ever dip it. Never. There's nothing better than a solid job of european. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
