| | Fun Bears A friend of mine in Tenn. called me and told me that black bears are very popular in Tenn .. and would I carved some minature one's for her gift shop ..
So here they are .. nothing special .. but found some spare time from my carvings for the museum to carve them ..
Found out these little guys are alot of fun to carve ..
I ask her if she wanted them a special way and she said no .. just bears and be sure their black bears .. not brown, grizzly , or else ..
It's so funny .. in Texas . cowboys sale great and you couldnt hardly sale a black bear , but in Tenn. Black Bears are the norm ..
Hope you enjoy
Gene

| | Re: Fun Bears Gene... How about a dead on front and dead on side photo of those rascals? Hee! Hee! Nice work. Are they carved from your usual 1x1x4 stock?

I been wanting to try a bear in the flat plane for a while if you don't mine i'll give one of your a try. I like how you carved them all with different expression.I'd say thay will sale quick and you will have another order in not time.
