Default Hobo Bear
I carved this one the other night and painted it last night. It's for a family member. It's based on a Mike Shipley pattern and I changed up and carved from basswood and is about 5 inches off the stand. The stand is basswood I turned on my lathe. Finished in acrylics and oil wipe on poly. Thanks for looking as always.
