Came across this and I enjoyed reading about how you came to be "Bear".  The sculptures are incredible and a piece of art.  I have to think they take weeks to make and that is the reason for the $$$.  Do you sell these anywhere near the Poconos?  I live about 2 hours away in Downingtown, PA.  

Thanks for the story and pics!

Thank You!!

I have an Uncle & some Cousins in Downingtown. The Cousins wrestled for Downingtown awhile back.

I had to quit Chainsaw carving for health reasons, and we kept the last few of my Bears.

Well  Bear as you know I am new here (did a little lurking) -you are a fascinating brother with many talents (also I see by your son you must have the talent in your genes). I saw my first bear carvings on Rt17 near Sufferin NY many years ago. I was fascinated,then I met a fellow in Maine on the coast RT1, that did carving ,even gave him a ouple antique chain saws that I had around here (my family were lumber men -I first ran a 39 puond David Bradley when I was 13). To me those are so precious ,Id love a dozen in my yard. .

And your home is georgous - you have been blessed.

Thank You Mr Bill !!

I never touched a Chainsaw until I closed my Cabinet shop, and I was 56.

I just figured nobody would buy my cabinets if I had a chainsaw in my truck!!! LOL

I had to get my Son (then 33 years old) to show me how to use his chainsaw.

Then I did this for 3 years, until my Heart & lung problems made me stop.

It was fun while it lasted!!

Thanks again,

Bear

Good morning Bear. I've enjoyed your step by steps since I discovered them after joining last month. But, shame on me, I never scrolled all the way down to see this thread till today. I found it very enjoyable. Thank you so much for all the great work you did on the step by steps, I'm sure they've helped countless people-including myself. You are certainly due all the respect everyone here has for you. Thanks again, David.

Thanks Java!!!

Sorry it took me so long to see your comment.

Be careful of the kickback, if you touch the upper part of the tip of the bar to things like under the chin & in the crotch area!!!

You're welcome, Bear. You deserve it but I should subtract a point for your failure to remark on my terrible pun...
