Chainsaw Carving

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.

Found this one up at the lake a couple months ago and remembered to get pics over the weekend.

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.
