Aug 19th, 2018 : Chainsaw Carving Revisited
 

As I was saying... ratsnstuff dogdamnpbssts fartsnpooper...
some of the chainsaw carving we've seen were painted, stained or left natural.
These are the first I've seen rough carved and paint highlighted. It works well.

Jürgen Lingl-Rebetez wears no eye or ear protection, he's German.

Good art. It's that little white spot in the eyes that bring the sculptures to life.
Can't help but feel that the future is debatable, though.

But will the future be changed by that debate, or just give Vegas fodder for setting the odds?

A couple wood cat tails in the bottom with mice frogs and wood bugs for kindling. Then some raccoons some possums mebbe a small dog. Throw a leopard on the pile and crown the bonfire with a bear. Circle the pit with Adirondack chairs. Have a bag of weed and ice chest of beer. This wood be a nice night.

I find the red square on base of his sculptures interesting. The architect Frank Lloyd Wright used that as well. He used it in conjunction with his signature.

Electric chainsaw...

What is this guy, some kind o' pussy?:eyebrow:

Germans be sneaky.

Sawdust provide plenty of ear protection.

I like the rough finish, it's like watercolor.

It certainly makes that first one look like a wet dog.

when I first saw that picture I thought it was a wet, and sad dog. At first glance.
