Product Description

Book Description

Startling wooden figures that have been carved with a chainsaw can be seen around the country at fairs, in yards, and on ESPN's logger competitions. This is the first book that explains all of the elements of the chainsaw carving art: techniques, equipment, safety precautions, and aesthetic considerations. Step-by-step tutorials show how the Blue Heron garden sculpture and the popular Black Bear are carved. Dozens of project ideas, accompanied by hundreds of color photos of spectacular carvings, are also included. Anyone who has ever handled a chainsaw will find this book irresistible.


About the Author

Hal McIntosh is a virtuoso chainsaw carver of lawn ornaments and totem poles. He operates a studio called Timbercrafts where he produces off-the-shelf and commissioned carvings. He lives in Poconos, Pennsylvania.

2.0 out of 5 stars The author's photo album and a chain saw catalogue., 6 Oct 2001
Perhaps that is a bit harsh but it was my first impression on skim reading the book. But they are excellent photographs and there is a very clear sequence of photographs and a description of how to carve a heron in front of reeds. However the sequence described in the text did not seem quite logical to me, and it did not match the accompanying photo set, which did follow logic. However I still haven't passed carving mushrooms so perhaps I am not qualified to comment. It wasn't the book I had hoped for...
