Tailoring + Furniture Craft = Taxidermy
« on: July 30, 2005, 11:32:00 am »
The animal head trophies are fun, I'd like to see the following ones added to the mix, with a possible taxidermy section of furniture craft in the future. (mostly be gathering the skin/head of an animal and setting it on an oak plank and stuffing it with cotton, my guess.  Also might be needing the tailoring table and needle on the heads before they're attached to the planks) I think we have 3 so far, brown bear, leopard and a stag, and they all look really cool.

here's my personal trophy/furniture wishlist and suggested components to make them.

Goblin: Red Light Chief head, needle & thread, 4 cotton, hickory plank, copper wire
Orc: orc head, needle, thread, 6 cotton, hickory plank, bronze wire
Manticore: manticore head/Blood desert, 8 pieces cotton, tailor needle, oak plank, copper wire
Griffon: Elise's collar, bronze wire, 10 cotton, tailor needle & thread, oak plank
Ogre: Haven chief head, iron wire, oak plank, 12 cotton, needle&thread, mahogany plank
Freestanding Bugbear: bugbear chief head, 2 platinum wire, 2 mahogany planks, 20 cotton, needle, thread
Freestanding stuffed giant: Oasis Giant Head, 5 Platinum wire, thread, needle, 40 cotton, 3 planks mahogany

Rough draft, But that's pretty much what I had in mind.  1st you skin the animal/monster, then you set wires into the frame to hold it up, use the tailoring desk to stuff it with unprocessed cotton and stitch it up, then have it set onto some planks as the backboard or standing base for the stuffed creature.  It'd be a fun past time for our hunters and heroes out there.  Ultimately the toughest recipe would be jackalope, I think. ;)

The difference between regular and freestanding would be that the regular ones are stuffed heads on the wall, while the freestanding ones would be more like full-body statues.

This sounds cool, but i think you need two glass eyes for each animal as well
