Maybe watch a Youtube Video on skinning out the paws. You want to keep the claws on the hide, which is a bit tricky.
If it is important how the paws finish, you could just skin the paw out, and but the bone and leave the paw with pads attached for the Taxidermist to deal with for best results.
Derrick at Wilderness Creations actually has tanning tanks on site at his acreage which is a big advantage for quality control. He has done a great job for me, and has gone above and beyond for friends of mine on other bears.
