That carving really turned out beautifully. I'm also impressed with the finish of the pine burl. Wonderfully used grain. You obviously have a feel for the anatomy of bears too.
Great work.

Thanks again, carving has really become one of the things that I really enjoy doing, also a good way to meet other people with the same intrests.

Wow, that's a super piece Bill. I love the composition and the bears are splendidly carved. Anatomy is great, tough to get too. Well done.

Where do you find that wood with the neat bears inside? You seem to have mastered working with figured wood to the best advantage most gracefully. that is an excellent piece!
