Great carving and great suggestion about the texture paint. Never thought about using it on a carving before.

Looks like you spent some time with hand tools on that one too, am I right?

Other than 3 different sizes of chainsaws, I used a 4 1/2" angle grinder with sanding disk, die grinder with rotary file, dremel, and 1" hand held belt sander. No gouges or chisels.

Three bears

After that dragon I had to do something small. These critters are hot off the press...
Photo isn't such great quality but I took it with my cell phone.
Nearly forgot to mention,,, They're 28 inches tall.

Thanks. I'm still debating on whether I should ask $150 or $200 each.

Yesterday I also carved a Wood Spirit from Mulberry wood. What a great wood! It was from an old dead limb that was very dry yet had very little cracking and worked well with both power tools and gouges. I'll post the spirit here later today.

Wood Spirit

Here's the Wood Spirit I carved yesterday from Mulberry wood. The details of the eyes and nose aren't showing up as well as I'd like. Maybe I should burn them darker next time.... ?
