The Bear's Eyes.

Today I have shaped the Bear's nose and eyes. Had some trouble with interlocked grain through and under the left eye, but providing I approach this from the correct angles the gain can be controlled.Although the eyes have been shaped, rounded and smoothed, I have not given them 'sight'. I adhere to the idea believed by many other carvers, that giving sight to a figurative carving should be the last thing you do, (if it is done at all !)
