Eagle Stump Carving

[brianh]

I started this one on Wednesday I just got the first coat of finish on this afternoon.

The customer is happy with it, the wood was maple it holds detail nicely.

Of course the plunger in the oiler on my echo stripped yesterday while carving, I am glad I set all my saws up with rim and drum drive I was able to put my dime bar on my husky and keep going.

It is the second time I have had this happen, the echo pump is aluminum and I think it gets hotter baking the canola oil in the pump over time. I am going to start taking the pumps apart and cleaning them once a month.

My huskys never have this problem or the poulon pro saw I have.

Nice job on the eagles looks like a really nice setting. I dont own an echo so I dont have that problem. I use Canola in all my saws now and I have never had a problem. the only thing I notice is that the Canola cakes onto the parts of the saw more than ordinary bar oil but if you clean your saws after use then it doesnt seem to be a problem.

Hi Brian, I agree with what you said about the PUMP and Canola oil and whatever Chane Carver Language that you said. lol . One thing I do understand is when I see A carving that I like, I know I like it and I like your Eagles. That is something else and done in just a few days, Amazing. Merle

I like the way you had to add back simulated woodgrain to a tree stump!

Lovely work.

Is there anyone out there interested in quoting a stump carving in Centennial, CO (SW Denver suburb)?

My father served in the 101st Airborne, the Screaming Eagles, in Vietnam and has since found bald eagles to symbolize his life.

We recently removed most of a dying tree in his backyard. I would like to have the 9 foot stump carved into a bald eagle.

Please write if you, or someone you know, is interested in quoting on this.

I have not had that problem with my ehco but then, I only use it to trim up trees.
