Featured in this lot we have a carved wooden bear from Big Sky Carvers. The bear was hand carved by Jeff Flemming of Big Sky Carvers in Manhattan, Montana. This piece is made of solid wood and is hand carved and painted. Big Sky Carvers has since moved from Manhattan, Montana and the wood carving division has been permanently closed. The bear is shown standing on its hind legs while holding a trout by the tail. The bear is painted black with the deep gold of the wood showing on the paws and face with the trout showing colors of white, green, and orange. The side of the bear shows a brass plaque on the base reading "Big Sky Bears - Solid Western Pine - Jeff Flemming - Big Sky Carvers Manhattan Montana - USA". The bear shows good condition overall with minor wear. The bear measures 6 3/4" wide by 7" deep and 32 3/4" tall.
