Default Just a bear.
Thought I'd post my latest bear in both raw wood and with a little color. I'm not a fan of paint but there are times when it adds a little zing to a carving. The base is 38" wide, customer supplied log butt, supposedly Red Pine. Carved nice in spite of a lot of sap.

Gosh, I never thought of doing a bear in the water and this is the first I've seen. Great idea and nice work. Thanks for posting.
