14/10/2023 Here's how his paw pads turned out...

I'm really pleased that I managed to save his original paw pads....of course on very close inspection you can see my tiny stitches but this is what I consider to be a sympathetic restoration...Keeping him authentic and still having an aged look but now able to be cherished for many more years to come....
I'll be working on Mr. Bear again next week and will be back with more photos of his progress to show you very soon...
