Since he's a hunter tell him you'd like to have a real bear skin rug. Would he please go to Canada, get a permit, kill one, have the meat processed, the head and skin made into a rug and give you a price for that. He'll start listing the costs of everything including his time off from work. Then tell him that you just want a small bear and couldn't he do it for $200?
I love the way you think, lol. My mom never sewed for anyone other than family, she used to say people don't want to pay you for your time, they want you to do it for free. People are so inconsiderate of our time. Do they think we have nothing other to do but sew for free. Maybe if they come clean our houses, cook meals, take kids to school and go grocery shopping while we are sewing for them they might get the picture. This is a hobby we do because we like/love it but when others start making special request it becomes a job that they need to pay for!!!!!!!!!!!
