Default Birthday Gift
My daughter is turning 3 this Wednesday, and since she tries stealing all my carvings, I figured I should do one just for her. It's basswood, about 4 inches tall.
Let me know what you think. I'm always looking to get better, so I'm open for suggestions on improvements.

Thanks for looking
Eric

Very cute Bear Eric. Your little girl will love that one to keep forever. What would be really cool is to make one for her every birthday.
Your a great Dad,
Jim

Hi Eric,
You did good on the bear, yellow dress is good idea.
I'm sure your three yesr old will like very much.
Two things that I would do different are rounding the head more and having the eyes
closer together. I am still trying to get better at carving. Thanks for sharing, Carl
