Polar Beverages Polar Bear

Carving on Pine 11 feet x 24 inches diameter

In Worcester, Mass, there the Polar Beverages Company. They make sodas. The owner had a very old polar bear tree carving by the company's front door. But the carving had deteriorated to a point where it was an eye soar. The execs contacted me to make another standing polar bear to replace it. But, the owner was not to know about it. When I got it made they scheduled me to deliver mine while the owner was on vacation. I arrived at the company and there was a box truck with guys trying to get the the old carving into the back of the truck. The old carving was truly rotting away and in rough shape. I jumped up into the truck and started pulling to help and the carving's ears popped out. I guess the previous carver made them separate pieces for some reason. But this rotted carving finally made it in to the truck. We set up my carving to replace it.  They told me later they took the old carving to the owners house and strapped it to a tree so it wouldn't fall over. Then the owner could still have his original carving. I have no idea what the owner said when he showed up for work after his vacation and saw a different polar bear.
