Default mama and baby bear
Hey, mama hold me up higher so I can see the clown. Hi guys, I guess I got the bear kick. It was a little tricky getting that little guy in his mamas arms. The carving is basswood about 8 3/4" tall and 2 1/2x2 I'm not sure if I want to paint or stain them. As always comments welcome.

Hi Feb,

That's a cute carving and just in time. I was trying to figure out how to carve a cub.

Thanks.
