It might be in trouble, but I hope for the bear's sake that he's just curious, and not too hungry.   Ahhh, not enough spice in the world to make one of those critters appetizing.   Smiley

What are you using for your rock mix and is it the same for the trees?

Different. Trees were constructed with wood and wire then epoxy applied- sculpted/detailed. Sapling was wire and copper to create strength and then epoxy.  Rocks are carved/shaped from foam blocks. Then I applied rock mix. Big rock was created with wood and wire mesh. Then drywall compound and rock mix combined.

Amazing! You should offer training or make a video, I would love to own one.
