Black Bear with Cubs Mahogany on an Oak Backer 10 3/4" x 7 3/8" x 5/8"
Nice family portrait. Fairly intricate around the faces. Finished with Danish oil.

All of my pieces are handcrafted from hardwoods on a scroll saw. Originally it was all reclaimed or re-purposed wood but lately I have been getting shorts and offcuts from the lumberyard. All of it has been re-sawn and planed for my use. Consequently, all the pieces are different. Some of it is the size, sometimes the combinations of woods, and they are handcrafted, so there are always going to be differences.

I experiment with different woods to see how they re-act to cutting and finishing, not always a success. I do try to utilize the grains of the woods for different affects.
