Startling wooden figures that have been carved with a chainsaw can be seen around the country at fairs, in yards, and on ESPN's logger competitions. This is the first book that explains all of the elements of the chainsaw carving art: techniques, equipment, safety precautions, and aesthetic considerations. Step-by-step tutorials show how the Blue Heron garden sculpture and the popular Black Bear are carved. Dozens of project ideas, accompanied by hundreds of color photos of spectacular carvings, are also included. Anyone who has ever handled a chainsaw will find this book irresistible.
