Chainsaw Carving a Bear: A Complete Step-By-Step Guide (Fox Chapel Publishing) Beginner-Friendly Details and Easy-to-Follow Illustrated Instructions for How to Carve Realistic and Caricature Bears

This is a great book to have if your just starting to chainsaw carve! It drastically helped me carve my 1st two bears and has a bunch of tips and tricks along with the step by step diagrams of how to do so! I would recommend it for anyone that's just starting out!

After watching YouTube videos with ill-mounted cameras, or sped up to where you can't get a good look, I found this book and bought it. It is heavily illustrated with good pictures and explanations step by step. I found it very clear. One other bonus: the paper of the pages is coated, so you can work with the book open next to you without it getting stained with chain oil spatters and oily sawdust.

excellent place to start. Not all steps are super clear, but if you make a couple bears you get the idea pretty quick. don't forget YOU are the artist, this book helps point the way, but you can walk your own path.

Great read for beginners

I thought the book gave very nice step-by-step directions. My grandson is very artistic and I think he will enjoy this project.

What a great book to start learning how to wood carve. Learned a lot and gave me directions on what to do and what to think of before you start. Covered procedures and the illustrations are very easy to follow. Recommend this book to anyone think about getting into wood chainsaw carving.

This book has lots of information and photos about the actual carving process of three different bears. However, that's about ALL this book contains. It contains NO information or pictures on: *How to find and select logs *Additional bear poses beyond the three listed *How to paint or finish the bears *How to display the bears *How to sell/market the finished product Also, note that every photo in the step-by-step process is taken from exactly the same position, so some cuts and/or steps are not very visible. That said, there are enough illustrations to make up for this shortcoming. Bottom line: If you want to learn to chainsaw carve a bear, this book is adequate, but I'm hoping for a 2nd edition covering the materials listed above, as well as basic ratios for determining proportions on the bear.

Waiting for spring to carve the bear. I've never chain saw carved before, but I feel confident I can do it with this book.

Received with thanks

Habe mir das engl. Buch zugelegt , war ja ein wenig billiger. Bin absoluter Neuling auf dem Gebiet und habe auf Anhieb den ersten Bären geschnitzt. Er sieht zwar nicht so aus ,wie im Buch ,aber die Proportionen passen, was ja das wichtigste ist. Ich kann es nur empfehlen.

Tutto ok grazie mille 👋

It was a gift for my husband, & he has studied the book from cover to cover several times. I look forward to watching him carve once the snow is gone.
