Bear Carving

[garylmast]

Looking for my next project I came across a picture of a carving similar to this one, so I figured that would be an easy job. First I cut of a section of a Bradford Pear trunk that was full of worms I chopped down a few years ago. It made a perfect base and the insect activity gave it a lot a character. I then chopped the head and paw from a Bear stl model I had in my files, resized it to fit on the tree trunk. Finish size is 24” tall and 14” wide. Now I just need a place to hang it.

Gary, I can’t help it...it reminds me of the Stephen King movie, “Silver Bullet”!

I like the use of the wood Gary....
BUT Darn glad I didn't have that by my bed side when I was a little kid!!!
Reminds me of the spooky tall tales around late night campfires!

Is that a dark stain on his area, or a light touch with a torch?
I've got a piece of Bradford Pear with similar insect tracks that "Brave Soul" sent me...
still trying to figure out what it wants to be.
