Big trees

[RyanP]

How do you make big trees for something like  a lifesize leopard on a branch?
Can you use natural wood, or do you make them.?
Thanks.               Ryan

The weight of real wood would be prohibitive. You make them.

If you want a limb for the kiddie to lay on most of taxidermy supply company's carry them. If you want a tree you can make one or if you have room you can use a real tree. I am in the processing of putting one in my game room. I found a cedar tree with large limbs comming off the trunk about 12' high. I am putting squirrels of all kinds on the limbs a coon laying over a limb and anybodies guess what else.
