You've have probably seen my bear in the hollow already but not this one. I managed to find 2 bears

Started out looking like this...a 10 inch diameter cedar cookie at 4 inches thick with a few pencil marks.

Cedar dries very fast so I let it do it's thing beside the woodstove for a couple weeks.

Using the dremel, details start to emerge.

This one went so fast, I did get any footage of the burn...apologies for skipping it.

After paint..on the windowsill catching the sunrise. A great time and place to take pictures of smaller pieces.

These little carvings are a sure sale if I need the money. I've had a Facebook business page for 10 years now and have built a large following.
