I took a break from my WIPs to do something quick. These are my first chainsaw bears.

Elwood they are great for your fast try. You should have seen my first bears looked more like a cross between a pig and a dog. You did very well. Funny you did the same as me made them with big ears everyone I know says when they started doing bears did the same thing.

I thought the first one looked like a lion with double radar. Realistic ears are just so boring

Funny you should mention that. Last weekend I sat down with a couple of kids and we made some miniature chainsaw carvings (with a hacksaw). I wanted to show them something that could be finished in one sitting and we would have if it weren't for ADS.(I ended up do them myself)

Fun Bears Elwood! I also like the idea of the hacksaw. I finally have a couple of large cedar logs that I want to carve into two ends for a bench. I may try the hacksaw idea. Time! I need more TIME!
