Description
Get inspired to create your own chalnsaw art with the help of author and artist Hal MacIntosh as he guides you through the chainsaw basics and step-by-step projects that show you how to create "scratch drawings," relief and pierced relief carvings, step-cut carvings, life-sized three-dimensional carvings, and totem poles. An extended photo gallery features the works of 23 chainsaw carvers, and this expanded edition includes new projects with detailed line drawings that show you how to make eight craft projects out of one log, as well as benches, planters, and fire wood holders. You'll find that everything imaginable can be created by a skilled chainsaw artisan-glass-topped tables, stately bed frames, old-world Santas, soaring eagles and more.
Author Biography
Hal MacIntosh made his first chainsaw carving-a wooden goose decoy-in the mid-1960s. Since then, he has published two books (The Tree Climbers Guide Book and The Chain Saw Craft Book), written a number of articles on chainsaw carving for special-interest magazines, and made thousands upon thousands of chainsaw carvings. He runs his own business, called Timbercrafts, and his work has been commissioned by designers for businesses and private homes across the country.
