Chainsaw Carved Bears

 After spending some time carving many small figures, I wanted to try chainsaw carving.

Carving my first larger bear.

This is Bear #1.  I changed the face features of my next bears as I developed my skills.

The above photos are some of my early bears.

                                               

My wife liked this one and it is now in our home. I have made over 75 bears now.  We have sold some, but most are still hanging around here. I am taking a break from the bears for now. 

Here are a few more I have finished: 

And a gnome for something different!

New Wood Carving Hobby

I know this is not metal, but I started carving tiny wooden figures and enjoyed it.  Here are some of my very first ones.  I decided to move on to learning chainsaw carving.  I will share that next.
