Description
This bear carving was done by my husband, Steve, and me as a special Christmas gift for our daughter. We carved it from our century old backyard willow tree that came down in a storm last year. Because she used to play in a treehouse in this willow tree as a child and we are planning on moving soon, we thought this would be a nice remembrance of home and a meaningful gift from our hearts.
This was our first bear carving. Steve did all the main preliminary cuts with his big chainsaw and I did the detailed ones with a small chainsaw. We used a grinder, drummel tool and my dad's carving chisels for facial details. It is so heavy, it can barely be lifted by two people. We stained the bear and sealed it against the outside weather but our daughter decided to keep this 42" high baby bear near her livingroom fireplace.
