Kinda reminds me of Big Foot in some strange way. Suppose it's because he'
s in a walking stance. Great job and thanks for posting!

Gee, thanks for the reply, I was wondering if any one would like it. The wood is plain old NE Iowa bass wood.

Oh, he's great! Love the way his mouth is open and how his paws are out in front. Sure makes him look like he's on the move! Nice work!

Dull Knife! Nice bear! I'm always hesitant about carving a real life figure because even my real life figures come out looking like carricatures. Great expression and facial features on yours.

Ya, I know what you mean, I've carved a few other bears that look like carricatures, but with this one, I got lucky..... thanks for the compliment.

Nice action pose, and I think your bear turned out nice.
