Then there's Oregon's Mike McVay. Anybody know Mike?????

(from the Bridgeport Telegram 14 January 1966)

INSTANT ANCIENT ART —Oregon artist Mike McVay
uses a chain saw to turn out commercial replicas of ancient
Tiki god statues and Indian totem poles. He is one of a dozen
or more such artists in the Pacific Northwest who carve with
chain saws, ideal for this type of carving, says Omark Industries,
Inc., because they cut with a chisel action.
