So I'm putting together a bid package for a driveway gate for a prospective customer. They have a nice 2nd home here in the western NC mountains with a fair amount of the bear motif going on. They want the plasma cut panel gate design to match a pool table lamp they have. It's got grizzly bears on it. There are no grizzly in NC, save for a zoo.  <---Edited to add a smiley.

Not giving the customer what he wants is a good way to loose his business. If you are going to be bothered by something, let it be that.

I have a decorative piece with a moose on it. And there haven't been moose in the Sierra Nevadas for a while.
I think you're over thinking this

I guess I forgot the smiley. It really doesn't bug me at all. Just looking for some playful banter.

When it came business, I let the homeowner have it however they so desired. If the wife wanted her home to be the only house on the block with ridiculous Harbor Blue shingles in a subdivision of earth tones; then by God that's what I sold her. Nevermind her house looked like an IHOP completed.

Yet another trap thread. Someone asks for opinions, people provide them, then others jump all over them for doing so.

As long as he paid......I'd put horns and tits on that grizzly bear, if he wanted them.

Good grief, what can I add to a thread like this that has not already been covered? I know; You aren't really talking about a bear silhouette, you are actually talking about a cup of coffee aren't you. ![[Linked Image]](http://i731.photobucket.com/albums/ww315/no_onehere/th_zps5d74cfc2.jpg)
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Cut in shapes of the male sex organs if that's what they want. It you want money it only matters what they want, you don't have to look at it every day, just till you finish the job.

Well just to add insult to injury I sketched up the detail drawings for the custom gate post lamps last night while y'all were sharpening your pitch forks to skewer me. She wants lamps with bear tracks on them. I drew black bear tracks. S***'s gonna hit the fan now isn't it?
