  • Thanks to ‪@VisitEauClaire‬ for inviting me to the US Open Chainsaw Carving Championship. There was some amazing craftsmanship on display and it was just incredible to see how someone can turn a log into a work of art. I did go live during my time there so for more action check out the live stream card at the end of this video. I'm hoping to make it back down for a follow-up on the final day....stay tuned.

    The bear with the fish is my favorite. It looks so realistic. I always like watching them carve them. I was watching them down at the Paul Bunyan show last year

      Hahaha...yeah I was talking with one of the guys and told him when asked if I carve..I said I carve logs into 16" blocks. That's the range of my talent...lol

    • @Back40Firewood

      Exactly...well said. Had a great time seeing all the talent on display and just amazing seeing what they turned a big ole Pine log into...lol

    How interesting! Some very creative ideas there. I think the one that most caught my eye was the bear in the river catching the salmon as they swim upstream. Very creative way he illustrated the water.

    • @Back40Firewood
      @Back40Firewood  Рік тому

      That was a very cool piece...I went back the next day and will show ya the finished work, it was awesome!

    WW in PA must be thinking, “you see, Stihl saws are only intended for show off purposes not for the real work” 😄.
    It’s not my style, I don’t find it beautiful TBH, but man what a craftsmanship speaks from those pieces of art and all their details! Great respect for the creative minds who can start from a piece of wood and come up with this, so in that respect I like it very much.

      Hahahaha...yeah was fun talking to that guy with the Husky shirt on, it says something when you wear a brand's shirt, but even more when you tattoo a brand on your leg. And no....I'm not scheduling any appointments at the local tattoo parlor....lol

    What an absolutely amazing talent these guys have. Holy cow. Do any of the carvers watch your channel? I really liked the alligator. Kind of like the ouroboros.

    • @Back40Firewood
      @Back40Firewood  Рік тому +1

      Amazing indeed...was crazy to see the detail they had in their work. Only got a chance to briefly chat with a couple of them, they don't take breaks...lol...the alligator carver was from Australia.

      The auction was the next day....I went back to see the finished works but didn't stay for the auction. I'm going to try to find out what the winning bids were.

    What kind of wood do they use for carving?

    • @Back40Firewood
      @Back40Firewood  Рік тому +1

      I believe all the logs they used were pine...White Pine
