I have been carving with a chainsaw now for about 4 years. Its been a long learning curve. Here is some of my stuff. As a practice I DONT CARVE BEARS...but that's just me. I'll leave that to the guys who feel its important to their lives. I like the weird stuff. View attachment 260279View attachment 260280View attachment 260281View attachment 260283
I guess you get that I paint what I carve. Hope you enjoy.

Well, looks like you are very talented with your art, not sure its for me, but thats OK! Anybody who can carve like that deserves a big welcome to this site!

Thanks FB

I know my stuff isnt for everyone and I'm good with it. There's plenty of room for all of us.

Nice work man!
So was this one a commissioned piece or just off the top of your head?​

Thanks Lumberjackchef, its not a commision piece (unfortunately). I have to drive past a dairy farm in order to get to my place. The cows all seem a little haggard and just part of a industrial process so I was wondering what the IDEAL industrial dairy cow would be like. She is carved of silver maple.

Thanks Joe...I think everytime you carve you have a chance to make something no one else has seen before...so why not make something no one else has seen before? I get the Beetlejuice thing a good bit as well as "Where the Wild Things Are" and sometimes a bit of Dr. Seusse and Tim Burton.

You must have grown up watching Ren & Stimpy.

Very cool stuff. Do you sell your work over in Woodstock somewhere? I'm over in Haymarket but get over that way pretty often.

Sales

i don't have a gallery or store in Woodstock that carries my stuff, but you are welcome to visit my place. I have some finished stuff there...usually the more out there stuff than I post and some stuff in process. Also I am always in search of more wood, if you know of any logs that need a home. You can send me a pm and I will shoot you an address/cell number. Just for reference, I am located below the Woodstock tower and above Burnshire Dam. -Glenn
