Bear And Cub Carved Out Of Big Cedar Tree Stump
I carved this bear and cub out of a big 4-ft. dia. cedar tree stump. It stands in my back yard and is all one piece. The tree had a fork in it so I carved the cub out of the fork, hanging on mama bear’s back.
    I used my 4 1/2-in. air die grinder to do most of the work and bought a special bit equipped with chainsaw teeth to carve the fine stuff such as the mouth, eyes and teeth.
    Cedar is a real light wood so I painted the bears to make them stand out better. Everyone who sees the bears wants to have their photo taken standing next to them. It took me about two weeks to do the work. (Tom Allison, P.O. Box 86, Orofino, Idaho 83544, ph 208 816-0775)
