The carving is done in a pine log. About 13" diameter and bout  4' tall.   It 
is very green.  It has been fun and now I am  filing and sanding the snout 
and texturing the fur with V gouge and  mallet.  I thought I might try to burn 
it for color (black) but have no  experience doing this.  I've seen them 
painted black or stained and  finished with varnish but thought I'd like to try the 
scorched look.   

Anyone have any info, pros or cons or no no's for me to read?  Would  
appreciate any link or resource that might give me some direction.

Blow torch would do the job, just don't torch it too much
