Those are cute Rick! They remind me of a project I thought of a while ago. I was thinking of making a carving of the teddy bear I've had since I was a year old. I have to admit that I was at least 10 before I stopped sleeping with it. I though that my mom would enjoy a carving of it.

What are you carving them for? Did I miss that somewhere?

Great job on the Bears, one of favorite subjects.
Looking forward to seeing the next two.

Mikeg,
I was running out of "give aways" or donations for charities, carving shows, visitors, etc. These are so easy to carve that they work perfectly.

Vicki,
Thanks, I am not nearly as talented as you, but I do enjoy carving your bears.

Thomp,
Ha..Ha..Ha! Just shows to go ya.

Great job Rick, I wouldn't have thought to change the design that way but it sure is a winner!
