Default New Bear. Still practicing.

Here is a 30" tall bear i just finished. Been practicing as much as possible, but with the weather dipping into the teens it makes is tough. I have sold a 4' and 2' bear on ebay recently. Made $150 on 4' and $50 on 2'. This bear here is my 4th one. Already on my 5th. Man this is addicting. Can't wait for warmer weather to spend all day outside.

Good job on the bear. Started my 1st bear last saturday, got the Steve Backus "How to Chainsaw Carve a Bear" video for xmas. He makes it look easy. My wife said I did a good job for it being my first. Will post a picture when completed. You are right about the warmer weather, -10 celuis here and staying that for saturday. Hoping for warmer weather soon to.

Fine looking bear there Bman. If your selling them, that's a good indication that your doing a good job.
