Default Kuntry Bear

Last night I was looking at things on WCI and really liked Jim Sawyers cute country bears. Well my wife came into the PC room and I showed her Jim's bears. OHhhhhhhhh How cute! I want one,I want one! She kelpt saying!!

I told her,I would try to contact Jim today on here and see if he would like to sell one of his cute country bears. NO!! NO!! My wife said, I want you to carve me one!! YEAaaaaaaaa Right I told her,I cant carve a bear in the round!! Well you carved a fat Sheriff, didnt you??

Yea~ I did but guess what,he was suppose to be a tall skinny Sheriff! Duhh~

Well I want one and him wearing a red & white plaid shirt. Sooo Heres my humble a-temp. Hes 1 X 2 3/4 inches. His hands are in his over alls,thats where I keep mine when I have my over alls on! LOL...Keeps my hands warm!!

Your comments are more than welcome.Thks' Forrest

That a good looking bear.With his mouth open and his hand in his pocket it looks like he trying to hide somthing.I also like the paint job on the shirt.
