New to the world of chainsaw carving but..

[EddieJ]

Hi,

 

I stumbled across this forum whilst trying to hunt down an MS192, but now that I've found the site, I figured that I had better stay around!

 

I haven't really done any 'proper' chainsaw carving yet but shown below are a few examples of my previous efforts in carving and sculpture.

I used to be tree surgeon by trade but gave it in the mid 80's to become an

English oak framer.

Over the last year I have been dabbling with playing with oak for something to do in my spare time, and now want to change up a gear and take it more seriously.

 

First of all Happy belated Xmas. Approx 6 cubic metres of logs went into this Xmas pudding.

 

 

 

And another log stack. Approx 18 cubic metres of logs went into this.

A simple spiral.

 

 

An obelisk.

 

 

My only chainsaw carving to date, finished with some finer carving detail.

 

I am now training the oak to grow back up behind to create a canopy effect over the seat.

And the last two for now.

 

 

 

Hopefully I will be up and running soon with a carving chainsaw, and look forward to posting up the results.

Quite impressive!

 

If you're unsuccessful in your hunt for the elusive 192, let me know and I can get you sorted.

Thanks for the positive replies.

Here is a better shot showing the arch. The rear of the stack and top hadn't been finished at this stage.

 

In truth, if I had known just how much work was going to be involved making it, I probably wouldn't have started.

Many thanks, I am just waiting for an email reply from a dealer, but if I don't hear anything at the beginning of the week, I shall drop you a PM.

 

Thanks again.
