Default New carving of farmer

Heres' the latest carving I did. It stands about 8" tall from a Elm tree. The rake was very tricky to work around. Now I look at it closer there may be some touch ups I could do. Anyway for the sake of showing it step by step It'll do.

That's really quite amazing. Ilike it very much. how long did it take you. Was it all done by chainsaw? How much did you do by hand? Meaning carving tools. Again, nice job. feb

MA, burning and carving is not the same as playing with matches and knives.

Thumbs up Re: New carving of farmer

Wonderful job Bruce .... You can see where you are very skilled at the chainsaw ... It is quite a art to be skilled with such a large instrument of carving ...

You have done a great job ..
