Default Bear'ly finished!

Just finished the Polar Bear cane top, so had to share it. Shaft will go easy, but this head was a nice change. Just painting a plain white bear gives me the willies, I'm glad I'm not a bird carver. Makes me really appreciate the great paint jobs on birds and charactures I've seen on here lately.

Paul....the teeth went in really easy. Drilled or carved the holes and carved each tooth with a post extention to match. A little glue set it in fine.

That sure is a good looking cane top! I plan on getting started on one to put on the top of my grandfather's old cane. I hope it turns out half as nice. Thanks for sharing!

Very, very nice! Thanks for sharing the polar bear... something that I have rarely seen in the world of carving.
