Bears are roaming the walls

11-11-2011, 11:30 AM

Found Judy's bear in an SSWC issue and made it. We call it Papa-Bear. Then during my Beginners Class, at Judy's studio, I got the Grizzly Walk patter, which is Mama Grizzly & the cubs.

During the last class Judy taught me how to use the Wonder Wheel correctly, so now I have to redo them with better looking fur.

The good woodworker does not craft the wood for honor. He uses his craft to honor the wood.

That is really, really very good. You did a wonderful job of shaping and using the wonder wheel. That is what intarsia should look like....

When a work lifts your spirits and inspires bold and noble thoughts in you, do not look for any other standard to judge by: the work is good, the product of a master craftsman.

Ebony is a black wood though it is hard to find and very expensive. For round eyes l have taken pieces of dowel and rounded them on a sanding wheel. When I get the shape that I want I stain them with ebony stain.

Two corrections to the above: it was 1950 and the saw was an Eclipse brand.
