This ones taking some time but I like the way he's coming along. 

42" total tall.

Not quite sure yet how I wanna finish the base yet.

These owls are just as popular as the bears, but a lot more work. I prefer to do stuff like this that takes some time and thought over cranking out #'s of cookie cutter carvings.

amazing talent my man!  was looking at those feathers and how much detail - made me think how bout a fish and some scale work.  Keep it up - your gonna be starring at all the lumberjack shows

A fish is definitely on my list of future carves. Just trying to figure out a way to get my next load of logs here.

Might have to rent a Uhaul if I can't figure something out soon!

Two saws now?  One for each hand? He, he, he. I remember the 172, but what's the other one with the regular round-nose bar?
A 250 Farm-Boss maybe for bucking and slabbing? Nice brand choice, BTW.

You're getting to be really good at this my friend. I mean really good. That is a very nice piece of work. Congratulations.

I just bought an old Ford Ranger after the min-van croaked. I'll make the trip if it'll help keep you in business. Be forewarned though, I only work for beer and pizza. And a piece of floor space for the night if there's too much beer and pizza and lifting logs during the day. All the best to you, my friend. I'll keep trying to get run over by a Fed-Ex or UPS truck so I can buy one of your pieces. :rolleyes:

Hey Mark, I have the MS 170 set up with the 12" carving bar, and I picked up a used 018 (almost identical saw with same engine displacement) that I use the 16" bar on now for blocking out. It came with a 14" set up but tat just got my collection of spare parts started. It's nice running two saws, but THREE would be better,lol. Swapping out components all the time was getting to be a real pain.

I'm looking at a MS 250 or 271 next with a 20" bar so I can get into taking down and blocking out some bigger stuff. I can't imagine I'd ever need anything bigger than the 50cc saw for this, so that will probably be where it ends.... probably,lol!

I see they're running a pretty good deal on the 250 right now, so if I can get rid of this owl quick enough, I may just scoop that up and be good to go. So far all my profits from these carvings have gone right back into it, but man am I ever enjoying this kind of work!:good:
