Project Information
I just finished this large, chainsaw carving today. When I first began working with this log, I moved it around using my tractor…I am now able to move it around on my own… A log gets a lot lighter when large chunks are repeatedly subtracted
This is a chainsaw carving in an Eastern White Pine log. This piece is about 3 1/2' tall, 18" in diameter and weighs around 100-150 pounds. I really enjoyed creating this sculpture. Native American subject matter is something to which I am very drawn. I call this sculpture, "Caught In A Dream"... It depicts a chief in headdress, an eagle and an owl in the back. The overall composition makes me think of a dream catcher. This is my most pleasing Native to date. I am very happy with this carving, and am so grateful for all that I've learned on this great carving experience so far.
I used a Stihl 310 with skip tooth 3/8" pitch chain… A Stihl 250 with a 16" carving bar and 1/4" pitch chain.. Also, a Stihl 170 with a dime tip bar and 1/4" pitch chain..Those are the saw set-ups… As far as hand tools: Dremel with flame burr and Makita mini belt sander… I thought I would throw this out there in case anyone needs recommendations on what tools to buy
This carving is available for sale. Feel free to contact me if interested..I will be listing it in my shop… Local pick-up only. Check out more of my work at https://www.etsy.com/shop/JoshCarteArt.
P.S. I'm not sure why Lumberjocks uploads many of my pictures sideways that all other domains upload correctly
