Elephant ideas
Hoping to get a nice bull later this year.

I'm not interested in really having anything mounted. Bring back the tusks of course, probably the skull (I have a pretty good skull collection) and then I was thinking maybe a femur bone? Ears for a painting?

Not a fan of the feet as a waste basket thing. Any ideas on what to bring back would be appreciated.

Also any recommendations on who does good ear paintings?

thanks

Skull and femur bone will set you back alot of money for shipping but that you already know maybe, I also have 2 panels, tail, 2 footstool, and both ears.

I really liked this ear, I took the photo on the sci show a couple of years ago.

Not sure how I feel about the painted ear thing. Just something about it that I'm not keen on. One thing I thought I would like is to take the tail off at the root and mount it hanging down against the wall, but not stiff, more natural. I've never seen it done but I can picture it in my mind's eye.

Not sure about the "foot stools". I think I like 'em but I'm not sure they'd fly with the wife.

Now an elephant skull? I'm fully in on that. Especially if there was a well placed hole through the forehead that you could admire. So long as it's not your PH's bullet!
