Best bear carving I have ever seen! Nice job

[@jimmywest1260]

I agree with some of the people that have commented about Woody Hyezmar’s Woodworking Bible, it’s pretty solid even if it’s not complete!

I want to carve a very tall Tulip tree into a totem pole, any ideas on how to do this? Im thinking scaffolding . . .

[@TheKayBear]

Was the black coloring done with only flame? Or was it painted? Always wondered when I see these :)

[@jcen123]

What is the name or type of marking tool that you have. I would like to fine one

How deep is the relief cut

[@sticknstonesbrkbones]

what is the "relief cut" for?

[@kbbeats007]

What tool do you use for the fur

[@Docprepper]

@sticknstonesbrkbones so it does not split

[@moldcatalin]

Hello Kris. Is there any way to prevent spliting and big cracks on the logs? Because i know that the center(heart) of the log makes this to happend. Please give me an advice or any idea? Thank you

[@wildcard252]

+moldcatalin Maybe that is what the relief cut in the back is for?

[@KrisConnors_CustomSculpture]

+moldcatalin Yes, a relief cut in the back will tell the log where to split. I always try to avoid having the center of the log in the carving by using half logs. Sometimes this isn't possible though for big carvings. I'll just let them season for a year and then repair the cracks.
