Chainsaw Viking

[Will Fogarty]

Hi All,

This is a Chainsaw Viking commission I did for a viking themed playground in St. Annes Park, Clontarf for Dublin City Council. It is carved from a piece of American Redwood.

I am fairly new to chainsaw carving (I've been at it about a year).

Just wondering what people think of it ?

Thanks,

Will.

Thats fantastic mate! Just out of curiousity, what exactly do you classify american redwood as please?

dam good piece. details are good, proportions are a bit shortened for a true viking (v tall chaps) but you carve the wood you have eh? dam good for 1 year experience. did you use hand tools on the eyes? looks like it is sanded smooth too, should last well if they oil it plenty
