I've got this little guy on Ebay right now to see what I can get out of it on there. I also take them to my restaurant to place them on display. I have sold several bears like that. I carved it out of someones downed red cedar that was getting ready to go to the landfill. Not a bad recycling job I guess. What do ya think?

Very nice!!!

Good craftsmanship bravo

Thanks, its literally taken me dozens of bears to even get close to realism. Practice make perfect they say. He seems to be a popular little guy too. Its been on ebay for 2 1/2 days and had 141 hits last I checked.

I am working on a sign post for a friend that has an eagle perched at the top in some branches. I'm going to be carving his last name in the tree below it. Its starting to take shape pretty good now. I will post some pics later this week of it too.

where is the ebay link?

Here it was.

It has ended now but my reserve of 200.00 did not get met. I did the math though and I think I'll give the high bidder a second chance offer. I will still make around 30.00 per hour. I know a lot of people that are willing to pay that kind of money for a carving of this nature. Even at that rate I would be making two and a half times what I make at my job per hour!
