This is by far the largest sculpture in any medium that I have attempted and although I have done some chainsaw roughing out of smaller sculptures this has given me a good window into the subtle and not-so-subtle art of working with a chainsaw. I’m now at the point of working with less aggressive tooling: hand tools rasps and chisels. Looking forward to seeing this polished and finished. w

It’s sometimes easier to work chisel and mallet by laying a sculpture down. Definitely nice to put down the chainsaw.
