Default 6 hour Bear

I ordered 8 bear roughouts from Phil & Vicki Bishop last week. They arrived and last night I finished the first one. I have to keep it simple, I don't have much time to carve.

Looks very cuddly, Rick. But why don't you have much time to carve?

Thumbs up Re: 6 hour Bear

Wonderful way to alter a roughout Rick ... That is a unique idea to make it a stuffed bear ...

Great job ..

Gene

Stuffed bear? I thought he'd had a run-in with a mountain lion! Nice job, Rick!

Well, I had this silly idea to open a wood carving supply business.
Don't ever make work out of something you take pleasure from.

Thanks all for the encouragement. I get so little carving time that when I do, I'm like a hungry man in a buffet line.

MA, burning and carving is not the same as playing with matches and knives.
