Great Grizzly Bear

I've been waiting a while to carve something out of this chunk fo red oak tree that looked to be an entrance to some critter's home. In this piece I seen a bear and today was nice bright sunny day, so I took my magnifier outside & carved this bear out of it.

I started by sawing out the shape, then I screwed in some studs to hold little end pieces of white tail deer antler witch I then glued them onto.

There really wasn't a lot of carving to do to it, as it already looked like a bear and all I wanted out of it was to act as a mask with a handle on it, so a person could hold the mask up & tell stories through it. Now all I have to do is find some great grizzly bear tales & short stories that someone could read with the mask.
