This cougar was brought to me by a client that pulled it out of another shop. Very poor tan with little to no stretch in the hide and both ears were split from top to bottom, hole all over the hide and almost all toes had large hole in them and needed to be sewed up to keep claws in the paws and the whisker roots were shaved down to the hide and many were missing. Definately a challange and a very long day but when the clients came in to pick it up, they were thrilled with the end result. Hope you enjoy.....Marco

Spent my whole life lookin' back
 Not lookin' ahead to see
 Trying to keep my feet on track
 Doin' what was expected of me
 Kick my shoes off so they can't trace me
 Leave no forwarding address
 Before they all drive me crazy
 And I leave 'em all in a bloody mess

First let me say that lion looks beautiful, but I just can't like that snow on the base. Doesn't look believable to me.
