Sounds like ya have some cool thing going on Mike.
Cant wait to see it.

Now about that first Bear burning.

I had a gettogether 3-4 years ago with a dozen or so carvers from around the country here at our home. Had this big old bear I did a long time ago and just let it set with nothing on it to see how it would weather. Lasted about 8 years then rotted apart, base ate up by termites and the eagle and arm fell off.
So on the big fire she went. I have one pick of it in the pile but think RD and some of the others may have a pic or two of the fire burning it up. It was a cool site or was that a hot site.
Anyways just thought I'd share it with ya all.
here's the pic
