Default Two of The Same But Different

I carved the owl on the right yesterday with mostly an electric chainsaw to include the texture sprayed it all black, allowed it to dry last night and sanded it off today leaving the texture black. The one on the left I carved last weekend but spent much more time texturing with hand tools. They are both parting gifts for my staff here in Hot Springs; my new next project will be in Memphis TN.

Don...those are beautiful! I am a fan of chainsaw art, knowing nothing about it myself, but admire it greatly! What a nice gesture, and one they will love, I'm sure. Really nice work! Bonnie

Hey Don,
Great job on both! I admired the first one last week and love the effect the black gives to the 2nd one. Your staff may follow you to Memphis!
