I got back to work on a bear head that I had started over a year ago.  It was done in an 8" - 9" diameter section of cottonwood log from a long dead tree.  Although I was going to use part of the log for the base, I wound up making a bear mask that hangs on the wall out of it (the little bit of log part on the botton was ugly and the location of the carving screw prevented me from doing a base design that I would like).  I finished the carving, stained it with an analine dye and then did a monchromatic finish (except for the black around nose and mouth and a touch of color in the eyes) with a mixture of burnt umber and burnt sienna.  I sort of like it.  I just finished painting it this morning.  After it dries and I apply a finish I will take some photos of the finished piece and post them on my picturetrail site.
