Any Interest?

[Bob Younger]

I was wondering if there is any interest in me posting a picture step by step of how I carve one of my small bears. There are a bunch of pics that go to it, I'm thinking around 40 . Because of the number and resizing of the pic I don't want to waste time or bore people if no interest. I don't know how much they would help or not, and the quality of the pics are just OK. I took the pics as I carved with my cell phone. So... if there is interest and it's OK with the with the forum, I would be happy to do so. Shown is pic#1, #15 and #41 just a sample of what they will look like.

If the forty-one photos are accessible through a link, that might be the way to make them available to those interested. Otherwise, post them as a series of thumbnails. We can enlarge the ones of interest. One of the indications of interest is the number of views you get to this topic. My opinion: Go for it!

Hi Bob
I am not a chain saw carver but have done few bigger pieces with a multitool, a reciprocating chisel , a reciprocating saw, some palm chisels and a hand axe. I would like to see how you do it, go for it

If someone isn't interested (hard to imagine), they would have to look more info is knowledge, go for it

Wow Bob buddy. While I wouldn't be using the pics for reference, I certainly would be VERY interested in seeing a BEAR carved out of a regular stump of wood.

Bob, I think every single member here on the forum would be interested in seeing the process that someone uses to achieve their carvings no matter the tools used. I may not carve with a chainsaw, but I have a great interest in them as I made my living repairing, sharpening and tuning them until I recently retired.
let's see what you've got.

Go for it, Bob! You can post them 3-5 at a time, just as you did the first 3 above and we can expand and view them easily. Just keep adding them to the same thread so they'll all be together.

Thanks, Bob, I for one am interested. While I do no power carving at all, I always like to see other carvers' work, especially the step-by-step pics.

Sounds good to me Bob. Never saw a bear carving tutorial that I haven't gotten something from and since bears is about all I carve I'm sitting here waiting at the edge of my seat!

So I have posted the pics under Carve a small bear from cut off. I hope you enjoy.
