Chain Saw Art

I am posting more photos taken at the Maitland Steamfest at the moment and this chap was so interesting to watch.

How he manages to create an artwork like this with a chainsaw I have no idea. I have enough just chopping a single log in half with our chainsaw.

Wow, thats really clever!

[Annie D]

how amazing!

[Yao RL]

Chain saw? can not be.

[Jacqueline]

This is so wonderful, I showed it to my hubby and he was very impressed too.

[Babs]

@yaorenliu Yes definitely a chainsaw. I took another photo where you could see the chainsaw more clearly but this was a better photo of the chap.

@kjarn @annied @jacqbb He has still got all his fingers too.

[Judith Johnson]

It's amazing, I'll show my hubby too, he'd love to be able to make something like that.

[Sam]

Some people are so clever!

[Beryl Lloyd]

I am in awe of the craftmanship when big men with their chainsaws create such things of beauty from a piece of wood and often in situ ! He is doing a great job here !!

[Denise Wood]

They are amazing :)

[Dione Giorgio]

Amazing. I always considered sculpting was with a hammer and chisel.

[Yao RL]

Very impressive, need a lot of precise control.

[Lou Ann]

Chainsaw art is all the rage here. I just don’t know how they do the fine details with a chainsaw! That locomotive is wonderful.

[FBailey]

Looks way too intricate for a chainsaw, obviously has very steady hands!

[Merrelyn]

I'm amazed at what these guys can do with chainsaws.

@busylady @gigiflower @beryl @gilbertwood @sangwann @yaorenliu @fbailey @merrelyn @bkbinthecity @seattlite @ludwigsdiana @samae @peadar @pcoulson @craftymeg @fishers @mave @bizziebeeme @pyrrhula @chimfa @ingrid01 @danette @carole_sandford Thanks so much, he was fascinating to watch. Some of his previous artworks were on a table to the right of him but I couldn't get a decent photo of those because too many people were around.
