Chainsaw carving is only half of the 20 st Century. Some of the first sculptures created with chain saws were manufactured in 1950, less than 30 years after the chain was patented and produced in series. The exposure to this art form has grown slowly, but accelerated with the proposed national exposure on television Lumberjack World Championships, in which they were sent pictures of the sculptures around the world.
While the subjects of the sculptures are limited only by chain sawsthe imagination of the artist, use most of the pieces of natural forest as a reference. Animals such as bears are very common. Perhaps more than any other art form of sculpture is very important safety device for this art form. Standard features include heavy gloves, safety goggles, a helmet, ear protectors and boots with steel tip.
The artist often chooses a piece of soft wood of suitable size, a sign that the first time in the process of cutting aid. While most of the cut will bewith chainsaws, it is not uncommon for items such as a mill for grinding or rough spots, texturing, and other details are used. Other instruments of classical sculpture, in particular a hammer and chisel are used occasionally for minor grooves, which are incapable of a conventional chain saw, would form.
Instead of using traditional tools for sections of a sculpture that would otherwise be impossible to have designed some specialized working wooden knives and chains developedbe used specifically for this task. A standard chain saw has a long, rounded tip and is generally a silent chain used similar to a bicycle chain. The special chainsaw carving, but often are designed to produce a much sharper at the end of swing to make deeper into the wood. A small delicate chain is often used to allow greater control over work.
If the wood is finished, choose to paint or stain certain artisans sell their creations. While Fleck is oftenpreferred because of the protective effect and lasting results, it is only for the production of contrast in a small selection of colors. All the colors, the paint must be outside this range, which can then be sealed for durability.
While chainsaw sculpture is a relatively young art form, more interest and exposure caused a small increase in its popularity. Although it is destined to remain a niche art form, the extensive work and displaying his creation will ensure thatgeneration will remain an active part of world culture.
