Nice work Jeff. Really enjoy watching how you skillfully cut away and to see the character unfold. Thank you for sharing your work.

[@QSOutdoors]

Glad you liked it Frank!

Great little carving Jeff. You looked and sounded like you were enjoying it! I often have the most trouble with arms and the bit between them on the chest/abdomen, so learnt some things in this carving that will help me.

[@QSOutdoors]

It's always really tricky with just a knife and would be so much easier with a gouge! It is what it is. Glad you learnt something 😁

Excellent commentary! Found your channel, and subscribed from Basswood Carving top 10!

[@QSOutdoors]

Thank you and thanks to Ron for the plug!

[@ginabirks4910]

He's such a lovable little bear, I can't wait to have a go. Thanks very much for the tutorial Jeff.

[@QSOutdoors]

Pleasure Gina. Happy you liked it!

[@toddw.8277]

I like his work but as a beginner I had trouble following him. His instructions not the most detailed. Maybe better for more experienced. But his work is very cool.

[@QSOutdoors]

Thanks for the comment todd. I would say that some of the carvings I've done are indeed more towards intermediate. I'm happy you liked the video though. I have other videos focused more towards beginners like my big hat gnomes if that might be of interest to you.

[@bssn9469]

Ok, back again, have you thought about a warrior-bear carving(s) along the lines of ewok-ish, copyrights not withstanding.? Because your bear is familiar/ similar to that which was previously mentioned...Again great commentary! Thanks.

[@QSOutdoors]

That's a funny idea. Maybe I could do something like that!
