Bear’s paw is known by different names though the most common I’ve come across is Bear’s Paw.
Other names are: Ducks-Foot-in-the-Mud, Hand of Friendship, Turkey Track, Tea Leaf Design.
Regardless of the name it’s traditional and it’s beautiful and, most importantly, easy to make.
Cake stand is a beginner block that looks great on point.
