BizCT Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Why not Trex for the base? It’s less maintenance than PTSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomad Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) As I said prior , I have some 200 year old barn wood . After I finish the daughter's basement room ,I may have some left for that base . Im currently painting the trim , and fiancée is doing the flooring ,then the barn wood wall, so pretty soon . I have several spools of very old wire fencing ,laying on my land too , not barbed though . Plenty of old fence posts, just to lazy to rip them out of the ground ....

Moho81 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Make a 30x30 or 36x36 square base out of Nomads old barn wood. Partially fill it with stone or concrete then make a run to Hobby Lobby and pick out some nice looking grass/cattails/heather and dress it up real nice. Something like this.

The_Real_TCIII Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 I made the base for this bear, the taxi wanted $400 for the fakest looking rock you've ever seen (I asked him if there was a giant house key hidden in it). I cover it in Elmer's glue and peat moss then knocked off the excess after it driedSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does not do justice to the bear that sacrificed his life for it. Are these in the new man cave above garage? What is that flooring? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
