Thank You HS !!

I'm glad you like them!

I did a couple other things, but I stuck with Bears because Mrs Bear likes them, and I can make them look real just by Scorching, Brushing, and Varnishing. No Paint needed---Paint usually ruins Carvings.

I thought about that, but it wouldn't work. They also screwed up a nerve in my back, so sitting is painful, because my right leg has been numb from Butt to toes & my right foot is always Pins & Needles for nearly 3 years now.

Besides I get bored easily----I used to Oil Paint Scenery (when I had a broken collar bone). As soon as I was able to do other things I quit painting because I was bored. The only artwork I ever did that didn't bore me was Chainsaw Carving. I think it's just too noisy and Dangerous to be boring.

Hey play some loud music or get someone to record a chain saw. I'm not realty crazy I just think of dumb things. I know what back and nerve problems can be I have had 5 back surgerys I now have 10 vertabres bolted togather last one 1/30/15.  Its hard to have health issues that you just have to deal with. Getting old is not for the young they could not handle it.

Here's hoping you have better days.

I don't know Mark personally, but I've seen some of his work. Some of his carvings are displayed on the same Web Site as mine are.

That little guy was one of the hardest to get right, with his head looking sideways, and getting all of his legs & feet in the right position to end up on each of the log ends of my house.

Mrs Bear likes him best too.

As many times as I have looked at this thread, I just realized I never left a point, I fixed that.  That is some serious talent, Too bad you had to quit carving.

Great job my friend, as everything else.

I believe all the good words for your talent have been used already. So I will repeat some of them. Your work and talent are amazing. The bears on the railing and the small one hanging from the logs on your house are great. I also enjoy your knowledge you share on this forum. Thank you.
