Chainsaw Carving a Bear in only 7 minutes!

I timed a local chainsaw Carver in Rainier Oregon to see how fast he could carve out a bear. He is fast! We only show a little of the actual carving, but you can watch the sanding and burning of the bear. He does great work - you can see some of his stuff at www.knotjustabear.com or read more about this and other items at
New - how-to tutorial on carving this bear yourself! See our video page at: www.knotjustabear.com/video.html

[@jonathanleslie9100]

you know that carving part between 0:15 and 0:18 ? that's kinda what we came to see.

[@mbmoore210]

Talk about skill! A few minutes out of his day & $150-$200 piece of artwork cranked out!

[@mikebe41]

this is a skill that isn't self taught I think people like this are born with it, I can go to a art chainsaw school all week and never come up with anything like this, bravo. And just think he can do this til he dies, guaranteed income

SWEET!

[@CrazyZee1]

what did you use for eyes

[@moldcatalin]

Hello master. Is there any way to prevent spliting and big cracks on the logs? Because i know that the center(heart) of the log makes this to happend. Please give me an advice or any idea?
Thank you

[@emptyset00]

moldcatalin master of none.
we usually carve a relief cut down the back (or in an obscure place) into the carving along the length of the bear. depending on the diameter of the log, the depth is usually 2-3" deep. no need to go to the heart of the log. also, be sure to oil and give a protective cover (polyurethane, etc) and the cracking / splitting will not be a problem.

[@janetjackson7763]

Do you sell them? I surely would like to purchase one.

[@kingcraftification]

LMAO !! its either a stihl 170 or a 180 ms250 lmao maybe for blocking out something big trust me i carve too
