Thank you for easy instructions for a beginner! Your video was the nicest one for me to follow!

You did a great job here, thank you! I'm going to try my first little bear today 🐻

[@sarahponton6285]

Nice informative video. did you put any finish on the bark part of this piece? If so, what did you use? Any finish on top of the paint? Thanks

[@jefferyhines6067]

What type of saw are you using not much noise

[@chamberb01]

Stihl 12" electric, they run about $300.

[@Chrisinpa]

@@chamberb01 I have a 12 inch Remington........have been cutting trees with it for 15-20 years and it keeps going. Paid around 40 bucks for it back then.

[@craignash4736]

Great video , would you Please give me dimensions of log before carving . Thanks for sharing. Thanks. Craig. Pa.

[@thepeachyginger]

You can use any size log, but this one was 22 inches in height and about 9 inches in diameter

Watched this last night.. made my first bear head today! I messed up on the upward cut to the mouth, to make the paws.. so mine is just a head for the fireplace mantle. LoL!

[@thepeachyginger]

Congrats!!

[@Gin_11162]

​@@thepeachyginger just finished my 2nd one. I got the paws this time! Made my profile pic for ya :) I'd honestly only used a chainsaw for a few small brush trees in the yard. Then last week I helped parents cut up a decent tree and thought about stump stools for their firepit. YT'd a vid on 3 leg stools and it looked like a challenge. But do-able. 2out of two successful! When I found your bear I had to try to expand my horizons. You made it look so doable. Your next vid I'm trying tomorrow is the owl. Then that awesome gnome house on the mushroom. I'm loving this new world of art through a chainsaw. I googled the dimebar tonight. Gotta get me one of those. I'm just using my dad's Husqvarna. LoL. Time to upgrade...

[@troygibson7533]

Nice, clean job

[@chamberb01]

Excellent for beginners, thank you!

[@jefferyhines6067]

Did the saw come with the carving bar

[@thepeachyginger]

I'm using a stihl msa 120 battery saw and no the carving bar didn't come with it

[@Dinonuggets90]

Would love to know the info on your chainsaw set up

[@thepeachyginger]

I've got two battery saw at the moment, a stihl msa 120c for detail with a stihl carving bar(dime tip model), and a stihl msa 200 for blocking. Both are powerful and useful for what I'm doing

[@Dinonuggets90]

Sweet thank you

[@robinattig7828]

That is so cute! I wanted to start way too ambitioned and failed with doing a dog :D

[@thepeachyginger]

Dogs are tough to carve dude! I know how you feel haha

[@user-qt8nb8xy7s]

Do you use dry or green wood? Which is best?

[@thepeachyginger]

I prefer green wood because it's easier to carve. But I use predried stuff for custom orders because it is much less likely to crack.

[@tomevans4402]

Awesome. I’m going to carve a bear
