The bears, was a long cut @109 hours total, the wolf sized is 10 hours done with just a finish pass, yes that's the beetle killed pine, there are 2 main pines up here Jack pine and Lodge pole pine, lodge pole pine has no limbs for quite a distance up the tree, if you can get the slow growth lodge pole it carves more like birch than pine. I'm lucky enough to be in the place where it grows and own enough acres to supply my needs.
