Pelican chainsaw carving

[@BassOfMolag]

Really cool, Mathieu. The time and effort that you put into your craft is displayed on every beautiful sculpture you create. Great work. 👏

[@MathieusChainsawCarvings]

A lot of fun to do as well :) on this one i did limit myself somewhat on the time spent. anyone can do this though, with some practice and if u have working limbs and a chainsaw ofcourse :) I appreciate the kind words 💚 All the best to you!

pelican looks killer, i really dig it!

[@MathieusChainsawCarvings]

Awesome, Thanks a lot man Appreciate it! I think they would look great with some colorfull paint too.

[@funkymonkeyschainsawart]

@@MathieusChainsawCarvings no problem i love it...I like the raw wood look you went with on this one, but yeah for sure some bright colors would look great too

[@MathieusChainsawCarvings]

@@funkymonkeyschainsawart the example i had had a little color round the eyes, when i use colour i ussually use pigments mixed with oil, its not that i didnt have these pigments on hand but this alder wood wouldnt be suitable for that on this one, i feel that the colour would run to much where you dont want it. and i am not comfortable using spraypaints etc :) i am no painter and id rather not use it then screw around and screw up a perfectly fine sculpt/make a mess :D

Yay !..a pelican !... The shoreline States would buy that up...do y'all have pelicans near where you're at ?...Florida..Georgia..South Carolina..North Carolina..Alabama..Mississippi..Texas..all have docks where this would look magnificent perched on a dock piling...yep 👍😉... I like you left it natural color..looks awesome...you really have the eye..I'm so jealous 😁... 🌿🌿🌿

[@MathieusChainsawCarvings]

We have no pelicans here unfortunatly :D. i used a somewhat conservative log to make it so i did mess a little with the proportions :D really glad you like it, everyones kind words are always so motivating ❤ and really, everyone can do it. i feel it is a skill and not a talent :) and a skill is something everyone can ;learn :D

Mathieu, wat weer een mooi en groot "gevaarte" zeg. Hoeveel uren ben je daar mee bezig?? Zag ik op de achtergrond ook een ooievaar staan, fantastisch.🙂

[@MathieusChainsawCarvings]

Hoi Piet, ik heb er 3 dagen elke dag een goed uur aan gewerkt, wat wacht tijd ook ivm vochtig hout en met name het schuren. De ooienvaar is ook een pelikaan :) die had ik te leen als referentie (ik help soms iemand met container uit indonesie uitladen, die handelt in dergelijke kunst dus dan zie je wel leuke dingen voorbij komen!). Ik denk dat met met wat oefening het ook wel wat sneller kan, zeker als je niet met filmen bezig bent ook! Vind m wel leuk geworden, ook weer eens wat anders! Blij dat je m leuk vind

[@spikewillow4552]

Looks great dude 🤘

[@MathieusChainsawCarvings]

Thanks a lot :) Fun design, did have to play with proportions a little bit due to the log size, will try a few more probably, i think they will probably sell or at attractr some attention :) Thanks for checking it out!, take care

Hi Matthieu!! You have received my picture ? You really have a great talent!🤩

[@MathieusChainsawCarvings]

I did get your picture, thanks a lot, looks nice, i assume you made the artwork on the wall? 😃 didnt quite get around to replying to your mail yesterday, sorry about that. And thanks a lot, you are too kind, im glad you like my stuff, there will be more comming soon! 😃

[@SoeCarpeDiem]

@@MathieusChainsawCarvings Yes, in winter, I do a lot of pyrography, I'm waiting to install a cyclone to be able to carve with my Dremel without getting dust all over my workshop!

[@MathieusChainsawCarvings]

@@SoeCarpeDiem that is cool, im developing an interest in pyrography myself :).im glad i can carve more outside again, dust is awfull!

[@rusticmania6531]

The pelican looks great and it’s different to what other people are doing too nice job 👍

[@MathieusChainsawCarvings]

Thanks a lot! trying some new shapes is always fun. i think it came out nice for the amount of time i spent on it. Occasionally help someone unload shipping containers from indonesia, always have a ton of idea's after that 😄. i borrowed one pelican from him, i tried to stay close to that design for the first one. looking forward to making a couple more! I liked your latest video on your use of the blowtorch, Havent gotten around to watching the whole thing yet. but i will have to make a little tool like that as well. seemed to work very good! 👍

[@SoeCarpeDiem]

Mathieu, I don't see you signing your piece?!!!🤪

[@MathieusChainsawCarvings]

You got me there 😅, i havent yet. i forgot to bring my burning pen tool, finished it up at home. I will do it soon i promise!
