$ bear shield

[penquin]

Finished this one the other day.  Had the pattern for a while and finally got the guts to go for it.  Pattern is from Don at Old Crow scroll works.  Don was super in making this one for me.  We went back and forth a few times and he was kind enough to keep working with me on it .  The bear hide outline was my idea since I didn't want to put it in a frame or display it in a standard way.  Cut it triple stacked in 1/8 oak plywood.  Used both 2/0 from Olson flat blades and 1's flat also from Mike.

Hope you all like it and a big thanks to Don for all his hard work.

Beautiful work and very nicely done Jim. Like your idea of getting away from traditional framing and choosing a bear hide shape.
