Thor ,

Your a marvel. Your carving style is expressed , as if it was one of your reliefs .

For a first "well done" .

Thumbs up Re: first chainsaw carving of my own design

WOW! Is it not amazing what a dramatic difference that a good paint job can do for a carving sometimes?!? Annnnnnnnnd.... those stunningly colorful flowers also compliment the little lady in a strong way. I mean that on a scale from 1 to 10 this carving went from a 5 to a near 10 ! Sure glad that you shook that darn camera back to life... it made all the difference! Nice !

Thanks ya'll. It means a lot to get feedback on this, seeing as how it's the first and very primitive to say the least.
I am hooked on chainsaw carving, that's for sure. I'm ordering a carving bar and new chain and sprocket for my saw next week. I need more detail.
Meanwhile, I'm using the chisels for fine tuning.

I won't give up my other work, just more ways to work in wood.
Thanks again,
Thor

Well done. The painting makes it jump out at you, while fitting into the setting, all at the same time!

Your Blue Lady is terrific. The rough carving adds to her mystic look. Great paint job.
