Default "BooBoo" bear

Im BooBoo and Im big and tough and can do what ever I want to do!

Oh Wow!!! Theres some honey in that old tree,dripping out just waiting for me.
I show them old bees,Im BooBoo they can't hurt me.

I will just stick my paw in that hole,ok here it goes.Ohh No! The bees are bad,but it aient going to bother me,for Im BooBoo tough as can be.
Awwwwww This honey is so sweet! But I can feel the bad bees stinging me from my head to my feet!

Oh Oh,theres a bee between my toes!! But I dont care and I dont know,Ohhh one just stung my nose!

I think I will grab a hand full of this golden honey and climb down,then I will start running when I hit the ground. See!! Im ok now,even though Ive ran a mile. I will just rest sitting on this old stump,OHHhhhhhhhh OHhhhhhhhhhh one of thems there bees just stung my rump!

I dont know about getting any more honey any time soon,think I will just take a nap till noon. I dream'd of all that honey I'd left and now sweet it tasted and another day,I'll go back and get what I wasted.

This was another old gray pine board with worm holes and several large holes that go all the way through the board to the back. Its 10 X 23 inches.
Painted with acrylic's. It was a fun project and your thoughts or comments are always welcome. Hope you like it as much as I enjoyed carving this BooBoo Bear.

Thanks,Forrest

Mark,Thank you very much! I wanted a old weathered tree with this bear. Course this old wood had several holes and tinny worm holes in it to start with.If You could hold this carving,you could feel the bears fur,stick something in his mouth which is open some and see and feel the grainy bark of this tree.

Im gald you enjoyed this bear and the old tree he climbed for some honey.

Thanks for your neat thoughts,Forrest
