Eagles and bears are always popular. The welcome bears I am making sell as fast as they are carved, for the last 2 weeks anyway.

Hi Brian,
Good pictures. I like the funny bird behind the bear myself.

Hi Thor, what bird was it?

I like doing the different stuff myself.

But the traditional stuff sells.

I can see why they sell - you do great chainsaw carvings. The birds are a hoot - very comical.

I like them both very much, but that smug bird with the big feet and the holiday hat on is my favorite! Love it!
I looked through your web pages until I found the complete picture of it.
Great imagination and execution.
Great bears too, but I prefer the unusual pieces..
Thor

Great chainsaw work I can see why they sell also looks as if you have a great location right on the main road. Do you use a carving chainsaw or just a regular saw? Isnt it funny though I am the same way as soon as I carve a bear it is gone and every one I know is the same. You would think that people would be sick of chainsaw carved bears by now but its not the case.

Hi Colin I use several different saws and finish up with an Echo 306 with a dime tip. I got an order yesterday for my Goony bird(the standing bird) and sold two more welcome bears.

The location is great, I have a old horse barn that I am renting in grahamsville NY in the catskills, we have lots of eagles and black bear in the area.

I will be going to ridgeway this year anybody here going?
