[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1509517, member: 22072"] When people say the wood tells you what it wants to be, its true. My husband dropped off that chunk of wood, which wasn't the one I wanted. So it sat there for a few weeks. I was chopping away on the piece that will eventually be a bear, because it didn't want to be a wooden indian, the piece on the ground said, "Im that deer you've always wanted." The log I thought was a indian,... I was walking through the house and somehow a clear pattern I used in my projector was on the floor in front of me. It was a bear head I was trying to teach myself how to do the ears, hardest part, and it just laid there looking at me..I was like, OF COURSE!!, that's why I was having trouble seeing a indian, its suppose to be a bear. And in the defense of the above bear, the wood dictates how its cut. A crack, a loose part, a knot that distracts, will alter how its cut. I have a horse head i'm trying to finish and half his nose fell off...So I altered it to fit flat on the wall...Really hated that, could have glued it, but its not what the wood wanted. It also had a knot near where they eye was to go, very very distracting..Probably why its head is not straight on the bear....it happens I usually have 3 to 5 carving projects going at once....
