Default Chief Bear Claw

Here's another quick one. I started this yesterday after lunch and wrapped up the carving and burning just before lunch today so I have about 6 hours total into it so far and that includes the base. Some of you ask.....so now you know how fast I work. Now, in no way does this reflect how much time I spend on every piece. This one just seemed to go together.

I'm trying something different here....a Bear Claw necklace. You'll note that the claws are missing! I'll add those once the piece is painted as I want the claws to be over the beaded strips but with the beads still clearly visible. Should be a neat effect and this ought to also be a very colorful piece.

There will be an entry on the Blog with more photos later.

Lynn,
Nice job for a quick one. Can't imagine only having 6 hours in that. The only thing I noticed was he looks a little pale to be a Native American

I am just totally in awe of the detail you get into your carvings...and it is all placed exactly where it should be, too! lol Wish I could carve something with even half that much detail! Excellent work, Lynn.

Nice job Lynn, 6 hours is very fast. Am looking forward to the bear claw necklace idea. As usual, you work is inspiring.
