This site never fail to amaze…another off the chart creation, just wonderful work Scott.

You did an exellant job with creating this work of art! Love it!

-- Never board, always knotty, lots of growth rings

Fantastic design and creation. It is amazing what can be created with a grinder and chainsaw.
It is good that it doesn’t create much sawdust…or does it?

That’s a lot of work and well worth it – the outcome is gorgeous and so unique!!! Can’t wait to see the next one.

Beautifully created! I love the voluptuous curves and folds and subtle flow of line that you incorporated in this vessel.

Man, that is super duper nice. I’m lovin it. You do some amazing work. Do you use the Lancelot chainsaw disc on an angle grinder?
. EDIT- I just looked at all the pictures. What kind of disc is that?

Magnificent work. That is art my friend.

How/what did you do to finish this piece?

-- Jason - Colorado Springs

Thanks Everyone !!!
Pommy-I get the stone from local jewelers (reminents)Crushed up and mixed with epoxy .This is usually my wifes job !!!
Greg- It creates A LOT of sawdust I usually do these outside.
Rafter-I don’t care for the chainsaw type for the grinder I use a combination of Arbortech (heavy removal) Kutzall coarse disk and fine (refining the shape) Then 36 grit 4”disk just before sanding and to grind the stone down
Jason -normally I use tung oil after sanding to 600 grit but started using a spray lacquer with a spray gun on this one.I use Sherwin Williams “hand rubbed effect”spray lacquer

That is a gorgeous piece! Ever think of a video on using the chainsaw to carve?
