First let me say that the only reasons I'm even posting these is because

1. I've seen worse for sale on ebay
2. I need tips on chainsaw carving!
   I have no patience, don't ever plan on selling carved tikis, and need to re-do my front yard with a budget of almost $0.00! I want to add a few tikis with some palmwood I have after Ganderma Fungus wiped out many, many specimine palms. Since the tikis are for the front yard, I don't want to (and can't) spend the money on tikis that someone could make off with.
   I plan on painting these and want a primitive look. These happened while I was taking the chainsaw to a bed of roses (I hate roses in the front yard) I will be planting a cycad garden to replace the rose bed when it warms up a bit. I looked over at the wood sitting there and decided to try a tiki-no drawing or planning.
   While scanning through the tiki carving thread I read lots of info on chisels, etc. but couldn't find info on chainsaw carving.

Any tips, Keigs, would be greatly appreciated, Keigs!!!!! I also know there is an old book out there by Bill Westenhaver about chainsaw carving and would pay someone for some copied pages of tips. Let me know if you have this book (I'm not going to be anyones competition) Like I even need to say that....here's the sad guys.

That's an hour of my life, I can't get back. How do the wood chips get in your underwear anyway?
