Product Description

This chainsaw carving primer illustrates the demanding control and precision needed for this unlikely art form. Three projects include instructions for carving a cub in a stump, a caricature bear, and a bear on all fours. Techniques such as cutting straight, creating textures, shaping, sanding, burning for detail, and painting are covered, and special attention is given to how to safely operate a chainsaw, what clothing to wear while working, and how to set up a safe workshop.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid and thorough, December 13, 2008
By Karen Tiede (Raleigh, NC) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Jamie's book is solid and thorough. Follow along and make the cuts he suggests and you'll have a bearish-looking carving your first time out. If your bear isn't quite bear-enough on the first try, go again and for certain, your second bear will be.

My first bear followed a different set of instructions and looks like a pig. My second bear followed Jamie's book and sold as soon as the finish was dry.

Having carved a fair number of bears (and other things) since, I understand that measurements are not particularly useful: it all depends on the size of the tree / log you're starting with.
