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.
Thor

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!
