Do you smell something burning???

Why yes... yes you do!

That would be the right half of the bear that you smell!

Since getting my MasterCarver combo unit (burner and micro carver in one) for my birthday, I've had two chances to set down and work on burning in the hair on the bear.

For the right half of the bear this is probably at least 4-5 hours worth of work. The head took me around 3 hours. This hair burning is TEDIOUS work! :) But I love it. The smell of the wood, being able to slowly see it start to turn out as I burn line after line!

I'll have some more to post about the progress now that I have a burner / micro carver! I wouldn't hold my breath that I'll have this project done before my next class starts in the fall (carving out the base and painting everything), but hey... you never know!!
