I've only been on the forum a short time, so this is the first time seeing this. So glad you bumped the post. Really enjoyed your how to. Great work loved the pictures especially the one of the real bear climbing the tree to get to your bear....too funny.

Wow Bear, you're quite the artist!
Just read this post, and wow...God has given you a talent. Things happen for a reason. I enjoyed learning about you.
Wonderful post Bear!
About the most I've accomplished with my chainsaws was cords and cords of firewood. LOL!
I did build my own version of an Alaska Chainsaw Mill once. And milled out oak fence posts and rough cut boards with it.
I liked looking around your shop in the pole barn, Unisaw, and is that a Biesemeyer or Jet fence on it?
My Unisaw is still ready in my garage shop here. 5 HP, 10" blade, Platinum Edition. Biesemeyer fence.
I got too broke down to handle the sheets anymore. But she's still there, still ready to work.
My Woodworking was more towards furniture pieces, and DIY remodeling.
I was raised in the City, by a real country boy from a farm in Alton, Illinois. Gave me all I need to live on the edge of anywhere I've lived.
Work hard, eat well, sleep good.
I still have a couple of running chainsaws in my shop. But had the last two trees taken down this last summer. When I can't do the trimming myself, it got too expensive to hire it out.
A lot has changed in our lifetimes, Bear. A lot.
And I bet we are very close in age as well.
Thank You for the tour, and showing us your marvelous carving skills. You are a true Natural, Sir.
And Thank You for your Service! (It seems that isn't said enough...)
Happy New Year to your and Mrs. Bear and all of the Family!
Wow another year has passed and the memories of looking back over this is as always awesome. Thanks for all your postings and help.

Yup. A true artist with a chainsaw. But you should see this man with an MES!
Thankfully, you post this every year around this time. And every year I reread it and again marvel at the quality of your workmanship John. Please don't ever miss a year. I look forward to seeing it and would really miss the pleasure of the pictures.
I'd give you POINTS every year if that were allowed.
