Chainsaw Rottweiler

[wooly]

Had a special order from one of my customers from last summer. She has already bought SEVERAL carves from me and has 3 Rotties of her own, and asked me if I could carve her a simple Rottweiler head.

She had paid some con-carver schmuck from Pennsyltucky to do the job for her a few years ago, but he just ran off with her cash and never delivered the piece.

I let her know I'd give it a shot, but not to get her hopes up as I've never attempted anything like this before..., BUT my plan was to do a full body, life size rottweiler out of one of the biggest maple logs I had here and just charge her for my tool supplies and materials.

That was about 4 months ago, and I finally built up the courage to start making some saw dust here a couple weeks ago. My free time is VERY limited lately so things have been progressing really slowly with this one, but I'm finally past the crucial cut stages and heading into the home stretch now and ready to start working on the base soon!

Sometimes the hardest part for me is getting past that initial fear of trying something new, and making those first few cuts before everything else just starts falling into place!

I couldn't be happier with how this one's coming along and she's over the moon with it as well so far!

Added my mum in one of the pics for size reference, so careful with any of those comments,lol

I love these pictures, thank you for sharing and amazing work as always! And what the heck is that thing siting in the front of those Stihls?

[grampy]

You never cease to amaze me with all that artistic talent, that just flows from you Matt! A very cool carving, that looks, well.....like a Rottweiler!!! You did a fantastic job buddy, and you made that customer so very happy! You sure have a way of doing that with people. As I smile every time I look at my Wooly Bear. Or anything else I have, that were made by your paws.

Take care my friend.

And give Mom a peck on the cheek for all of us!

Thanks guys!

Apex- that Shindaiwa is not my favorite saw, but it'll run circles around my Stihls! It's a 60cc beast I use for lopping off big chunks fast.

NOTHING compares to my Husky though. Sometimes I just pull that saw out so I can look at her beautiful teeth smiling back at me,lol
