Was talking to my friend last night during a X-mas party, hes really good wood worker, asked him if he could help me build the base for my bear, he said no problem. I'll see how much it will cost from the taxidermist, if its not to expensive then I'll have him do it cause my friend has been so busy with work, but if its super expensive then I'll ask him again. Just waiting for the taxidermist to call me with the measurments
