My Brothers first Chainsaw carving

[Ashbys]

While I was up at the open house, my brother heard the saw in the background. I told him they were selling saws... I got I want one get it.

I am thinking ok christmas story 2 .. Your going to cut your arm off .......

Any way , Colin hooked me up with Jen of Red Max.. super lady and I brought one home for him. Here is his first ever carving of any kind ! And yep it was roughed with the saw .

Yep I am stunned.

There must be sap running in those veins as he did an excellent job on his first carving. Would like to try a chain saw sometime...but I like carving with all my digits.

That's great news Ash. Are you getting him hooked up here on the site too? Never too many carvers! Even from the same family!!!

Yep Bob , I am working on him,

I really have to say , when you see his finished pice your going to be surprised I give him a few hints , gave him my chisels and what he finished with is really quite good.

It was a dieased maple so the colors are really something, so he want to brush sand it and then oil finish it and I will post his completed piece , but it is much more advanced than anything I did as a beginner.

He told me Colin is his hero and if colin had one he wants one .

Colin you have another monster on your hands !

Gary,
that is awsome I just love the carving. I only wish my first carving was anything as good as that. I am so glad he likes the Red Max it is a great little saw and weighs nothing. Let him know from me that he has done really well. I will continue to see his progress now he just has to join the forum.

Colin I am working on him , I am sure he will join soon. He asked me what he could cut next and I gave him his first commision... start them young .

We have 3 acres about half of which is under split rail fence . I told him start at the back and work up the sides He can carve every post. I figure by the time he gets to the front he should be pretty good.

And yes he love the saw, his only complaint was " I have to use chisels! Damn! "
