Default Bear Caricature

Last month our carving club lined up two seminars, David Sabol and Phil & Vickie Bishop. I attended the Sabol seminar, (couldn't fit in both), but I stopped by the Bishops seminar and purchased two roughouts. First one is done, "Running Bear", will be posting my Sabol piece in the general carving section.

Seminars are a great learning experience, if you ever have the chance to attend one, I would encourage you too, Have fun carving.

Bill

Bill you are definatly a very talented man. Just love the job you did on that bear. I would like to try that in a large log that would be a fun project to do. Again really nice carving as always. I am really looking forward to having lunch with you on my way to open house I will stay in touch closer to the date.
Colin
