Life size eagle with 7 ft. wingspan carved out of a sycamore log with the tail added on. Finished painting today with Rebekah's help. This is a 9 ft. grizzly on a 1 ft. base, carved out of a 3.5 ft. diameter red oak log from a local golf course. We used taxidermy teeth, eyes and claws. Painted with a mixture of house paints and spray paints over a wood preservative. A blog post will be coming showing the whole process including time lapse footage. Thanks for looking! www.customwoodcarvings.com #ohiogrizzlycarving, #ohiochainsawcarving , #virginiachainsawcarving , #howtocarveagrizzly 9 ft. grizzly, finished carving, my girls, Rebekah and Rose helped seal holes, attach claws and paint. Should be able to finish up tomorrow!! www.customwoodcarving #grizzlycarving, #ohiochainsawcarving, #virginiachainsawcarving I'm thinking an appropriate name for this guy would be sponge bear square pants... Arms are finished, now onto the legs! www.customwoodcarvings.com Here are some shots making the head of a 9 ft. grizzly in red oak. On site in Westerville, Ohio. Phew, it is hot!!! Stay tuned for more... www.customwoodcarvings.com
