Chainsaw Carving Book
For 7 about years I have been looking for a chainsaw carving book. We have been asked numerous times for a book but didn't have one until now. "Chainsaw Carving the Art and Craft" by Hal MacIntosh shows lifsize carvings of animals and people being created with chainsaws. The works of 23 chainsaw carvers are featured in this book. The author has even used a chainsaw to carve a lifesized wooden replica of Ronald McDonald. What chainsaw do you use? Are there different carving bars available? Where do I start? The author answers your all your questions with a section on chainsaw basics. Step-by-step projects show you how to create "scratch drawings," relief and pierced relief carvings, step cut carvings, lifesized three-dimensional carvings and totem poles. Want to know how to start chainsaw carving, what equipment to use and how to do a step-by-step project? These and more are covered in this book.
