Here's a commission piece I carved for a local school. Stood 7ft tall, chainsaw carved from white pine.

That is ridiculous amazing!

@powellx5 thank you very much

Chainsaw art blows me away. How the hell do you get such fine detail out of such a beast of a tool? Incredible!

@jard thank you, although some of my saws are powerful to the point they are scary. Some are small, the tip of this saw is the size of my pinky. Great for details.1521984854680774639302.jpg

Wow, that's impressive. Do you use a chainsaw initially to sketch it out and then use chisels to work on the detail?

That's impressive. I'm from Oregon and have seen quite a lot of chainsaw art, but your work is some of the best, I think.

@keniza thank you for the compliment

@keniza thank you, I use chainsaws for most, even details. There are hard to reach areas I have to use other tools for but the saw can do a lot. A dime tip bar is the size of my pinky finger so most details are done with all saw. Don't have to do much after other than refine major focal points. Heres an example of 100% saw, carved him yesterday, so far nothing else usedIMG_20180323_164136678_HDR.jpg
