Chainsaw Carving Attempt.

[ronnyrocket]

Well, I thought I'd try this chainsaw carving stuff I hear so much about. I really don't see what all the fuss is about. It was fun! I might do it again.

That is really good are you sure that is your first go at carving? That looks like a dollar sign you must be in America?

[ronnyrocket]

That is my very first go at "Chainsaw Carving" I put an outrageous price tag on the art object to infuriate the "American Opportunistic Sharpies" that see only dollar signs and not art. I did this in my driveway at home and "Everyone" wanted to know, How Much? I was selling it for. Only one person stopped and admired the carving for its artistic expression. Thus....the refrerence to money that you noted. Yeh! I live in America in the wrong century.

That is a superb 1st carving - wish I had the talent!

 

But the price tag - hmmm I would have seen that and thought 'hey that's ridiculous' and the art would have been lost on me...

Really nice, were you using the stone statue in picture 3 as reference? If s i guess the next project is the monk? Good work.

[ronnyrocket]

You're right "Spot on" I used the stone statue as a guide for ratio and proportion. My next project is a "Cigar Store Indian" during the 1800's in the Wild West of America. An Indian was often seen standing in front of general stores selling hand made cigars. Thus, the "Iconic" Cigar Store Indian became a fixture of legendary western folklore in the U.S. A hand carved, cigar store indian, is a highly sought after, prized, collectable item by the materialistic personalities that dominate U.S. culture.

So, how much do you want for it?

[ronnyrocket]

OK! You guys win. I'm gonna do some fine detailing and make a hand carved Rosary to fit. I'll probably donate it to the local Catholic Church. "Mary" is a revered, iconic, figure for us Mackeral snappers "Catholics".
