Correct. Just a couple dabs of Gorilla Glue and some rubber bands.

Thanks all, now I just have to shoot straight!

Fletcher- did you make that wooden stand or buy it somewhere?

Hermon, it was bought.  I had the skull done along with the rug and the taxidermist provided it.

I'm having a pig skull done now and am looking to carve my own from a solid block, either osage of walnut.

Mr Russel, how did you get the claws to shine like that? I've got a skull mount and claws and I was thinking of doing sethimg very similar.

Man these look great. Bear hunt is on my bucket list.

My Youtube video on preparing bear claws is VERY detailed.  This little tutorial has helped a lot of folks and I get emails from around the world in reference to it.

Sorry for the revival but Jerry that mount is awesome. If you see this what's the significance of the toonie?

I love the bear claws!

Ditto that! Would love to hear this story Ron.... Bring it!!

Jerry, that mount is awesome! Great idea and perfectly executed. Also, really enjoyed the video. I'm glad someone brought this old thread back up.

Mr. LaClair, I will echo the previous couple of posts, and beg to read the story of the bear that you "'Hawked." That HAS to be a heckuva story!

Sorry, I was just funning.    :p

I've had the skull for about 20 years, I got it from a fella that found it in the woods in Michigans U P. It's a very large skull for a black bear, I thought I get it measured someday buy never did. I'd like to know the REAL story behind it, I've always suspected that it may have been killed by a trapper that caught it in a trap. It surly would take some courage to dispatch it like that...even with a long handled axe.
