I have posted photos of my latest piece in the cavers gallery. I started this Debbe Edwards roughout last October and posted some early photos in the WIP section as Black Bear Sow and Cub. This piece was carved with hand tools except I used a foredom to open the area between the cub's hind legs. The hair was carved in with a #11/1 & 2mm then detailed with a burning pen. It was painted with acrylics, the rocks finished with tung oil, eyes coated with Treasure Crystal Cote and the whole thing sprayed with matte Krylon. I am working on a life size barn owl; but, this (bears) will probably be the last piece I finish for a while. We are building a house here on the ranch and I am the Contractor's "go fer". We are at the stage where things slow down and we continue even in bad weather. I will eventually be doing relief carvings on the two beams in the living room. |

That's some really pretty cedar Paul. Too bad you couldn't carve the joist when it was on the floor! ![]() Looks like a great project too!
