Perhaps my hardest of all at least the mouth.Made out of black walnut and red maple, both very hard woods to begin with, and add some very small pieces like lips,gums,teeth,and hardest of all the tongue and it becomes a long and hard process (for me anyway) that was not EVEN complete without the severe language that I found coming out of my mouth. However when it was finally done I am pretty happy with it. Also this particular piece taught me probably more than any other particular piece. Not without saying I also learned I have a very foul mouth at times! I even surprised myself! Matter of fact I have so many spare bear parts if there is anybody out there in cyberspace looking for some I would be the person to contact!!! PEACE!!!

Great looking grizzly. The detail in the mouth is excellent-I’d hate to have it after me.

Excellent looking bar. Keep turning them out, I have found that carving has a certain language attached to it and has to be used! My last project got called everything but what it was supposed to be. Sometimes I think about the Roman’s carving figures out of granite and marble. Semper Fi !!

I’ve met a couple real live Grizzly bears and they will also change your language. Nice work, Allison.

I’ve seen that pattern in Wood Carvers magazine, you really did it justice. Just beautiful. Yea, you picked some good hard woods to work with, but did an excellent job with them. mike

Very impressive, with so much detail work I can understand the frustration but it turned out great and must be well worth it..
