Default My 3rd attempt at chainsaw carving

Although it is mostly chainsawed, I cant help but smooth out the roughness and paint it.

GeorgiaCarver,
I dont think My body would agree with you. Lugging a 96CC chainsaw through the woods is a tad bit tougher than sitting in the climate controlled comforts of my shop Im not soft- I just know what I like!
