A customer cut the head off a bear about 8 inches behind the head he wants a half mount done how much trouble will it be for me to sew the head back on, the hair is thick and should hide the stitching and what stitch should I use and how much should I be charging him for all the additional sewing?

...I'll bet he cut the head off from the outside instead of the underneath side. If so, all that thick hair is still going to show a huge cut mark. Since it has to be tanned, he'd pay a pretty penny for his stupidity in my shop. Charge accordingly for what you think 2 hours of sewing is worth if you want to be nice. I'd charge $250 just because he was stupid.
