BeaverCraft Standing Bear
Carving Kit DIY12
Carve a standing bear from basswood – a more detailed figure with pre-drawn blank and whittling knife.
The standing bear – a carving figure with character
The BeaverCraft DIY12 Standing Bear Carving Kit brings the classic standing bear to your carving bench. The larger basswood blank with pre-drawn outline offers more detail possibilities than simpler figures like the DIY05 – from face and paws to body posture. The BeaverCraft C1 whittling knife is your main tool for every cut: rough shaping, detail work and revealing the bear silhouette. The illustrated instructions guide you step by step to the finished bear – an impressive carving project that rewards patience and shines as decoration or collectible.

Bigger, more detailed – the next step after the simple bear
The Standing Bear is the next step for carvers who have already mastered a simple bear (like the DIY05). The larger blank provides more surface area for details: facial features, paws, fur texture and the standing pose require more precision and patience. The result is an impressive figure that showcases craftsmanship and serves as a decorative highlight or collectible.
Basswood – the ideal wood for detailed figures
Basswood is the preferred wood for figure carvers: soft enough for fine details yet firm enough to hold shape. The pre-drawn blank provides the basic standing bear outline and shows you where to remove material, so you can focus on detail work – carving face, paws and body posture step by step.
BeaverCraft C1 – one knife for everything
The BeaverCraft C1 whittling knife is an all-rounder: its straight blade suits both rough shaping and fine detail cuts. From the first rough strokes to the last fur detail, the C1 accompanies you through the entire project. The high-quality carbon steel blade holds its edge through long sessions and is easy to sharpen when needed.
