Old Bear

[thewoodwizard]

Sorting out some of my old carvings, ready for this years shows.

 

I have cleaned up this old bear it was about the 4th bear carving I had done. Never knew what his arms were doing, but now I've decided he's holding a walking stick made out of oak.

The fur looks brilliant!

He's really good, proportions,finish.

How did you finish him? Another carve I've not tried.

Cheers, always interesting to see how different effects are created, for me at least. Sand and oil everything. If I ever carve something with fur or feathers I'll try a different approach.ta.
