Title: Mounted my bear skull......with photo
Post by: ron w on October 08, 2015, 11:09:00 AM
Being laid up I have time like never before. So when I got my bear rug back I also got the skull that was cleaned dried. I thought I would mount it some how but didn't have a clue what to do. Then I went to a craft show/flea market and saw some neat stuff done with old snow shoes. So hopefully Ken T. [KAT on here] will put up my photo shortly..........

Like it, Ron, pretty neat!  You even chose a bear paw snowshoe.

Neat idea!  I have a new skull and claws that need to be displayed. Your idea may stimulate my own.

Thanks everyone, like I said I took the idea from a crafts show vender. The Bear paw snowshoes belonged to my father-in-law, They were Army surplus from when he was on the farm many years ago. Turns out to be a great way to keep a great hunt alive in my mind. [ also my first trad harvest ].......   :goldtooth:

So Ron, if you don't mine, (inquiring minds want to know) what is the size of the bear paw snow shoe?

Most I've seen were pretty large and would make that head rather large indeed, but nothing in the pic to reference...

Love how it came out, but just curious!!!  :)

These measure 11" X 21"......not to big at all.

Thanks, Ron.  If that is a 5x7 pic below the skull, I'd say that is a rather decent sized skull!

Very cool...

I have some modified bear paw type snowshoes I used in MT...man they're a killer and they were longer then most BPaws, with turned up tips but they wore you plum out! They'd kill me now!
