Default 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

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?

Gene,

I had one of these guys actually walk up on me while hunting a few years back. I was sure glad he found something better to chew on than me! Nice work on the bears. You will have to show me some of those the next time up come up to JC! Glad you shared them with us!

Merry Christmas my friend!
Blake
