Any suggestions on this one?

I have a large and nicely colored bobcat - already tanned. Tried to eat the grill of a car - surprisingly almost no damage visible from the fur side.

Any thoughts on making it into a rug? I would like to try it myself - did a fair amount of taxidermy as a teenager, and was actually getting pretty good. That was before the days of the exquisite molded forms available now.

I am thinking of a half head mount with the jaws open, using an artificial jaw and tongue set. I never did a rug before though - not sure about backing, etc.

Thanks in advance for any tips...
