  That' a creative carving you found Jeff .  I 'll bet that one took some time to get it to look so good .  I will try and see some of these when we come up for the pig roast .

Chainsawcarving: the Art & Craft, by Hal Macintosh is a good book on the subject available from both Amazon.Com and Barnes & Noble.

I can give a vote to this book too - I found it a great intro to the art.  Its very infectious!
Also - I would like to get a hold of a Chainsawin Bear too - thats great!
Cheers

WV Hillbilly,

   Just remember truely talented folk make things look easy. It could be as plumber sweating a joint or a writer finishing a novel, Nothing is more annoying than hearing "oh, yeah I/you could do that". no offense meant, just keep it in mind as you travel around seeing these talented folk doin their thing keep it discrete and then go home and practice. Be careful as well lots of saws cutting at odd angles and such, good luck, and if'in you are good, you should be able to make some good money. Reid

Well, case in point. Local tree trimmer has a buddy/ aspiring carver, I cut a old pine off the driveway/lane for him yesterday morning. Doing a favor for the guy, he says give me one of your boys (3 year old) Pooh bears. So when he arrives back to town I get this ....................rendition of Pooh. Lets just say we all smiled. My mother-in-law is in town and she asked if  "I HAD" to display it? Nice gesture without a doubt, he will get better with time I am sure. Keep practicing! Those Stihl carvers were at the Paul Bunyan Fest in Ohio last year, my dad paid $350 for an eagle. I thought "yeah right" unitl I saw it.  THOSE GUYS ARE GOOD! Really good. Eagle had spread wing applied/pegged in looked soooooooooo professional. I have carved three dimensional objects, flowers, lily pads, coal.... on and on, for my custom wood sign business years ago. The spacial relations and third dimension of carving takes talent and practice to be good. Hats off to the Stihl Guys.

That Wood Carver from Harrison, MI (in Jeff's neighborhood) does some neat work with a chain saw. He had some great carvings displayed at the 2005 MI/WI Logging Congress  in Marquette last month.

I was in De Tour Village this weekend and discovered they were working on a carving right on the main drag.  Pretty impressive so far.
