This is the result. I went for a more modern art type carving. It stands a little over 3" tall. Thanks for looking.

The only thing that I would change if I was to do it over again would be to add more detail such as paws, but on this I decided that the simple polished stone would look the best.

That's really nice work. Many pieces don't need a lot of detail. More of an impresionistic design nicely done. Leaves something to the observers mind to fill in. I'd say he was a grizzly from the hump over his front shoulders.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
