I've always been told that the eyes and nose were the two things that weren't real. That they couldn't be saved. ???


The nose is the real skin. The nose pad is a very thin piece of skin. One little slip and you have a hole in the skin. The meat is not as easy to flesh away from the nose as it is the rest of the hide. If the taxidermist leaves any meat inside the pad, the nose will deform, pull, crack or whatever. You can cover the nose with epoxy sculpt and roll a tool across it that makes the imprints of a live deers nose on it, but I'm not real fond of it.

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
