[@briangarrow448]

Hello Steve!! We went to Hoquiam Junior high school together back in the stone age. Glad to see you are doing well. I've seen your sculptures around the Olympic Peninsula. Well done sir, Well done.

Brian Garrow small world lol

[@stevebackus5280]

Hello Brian of course I remember you and fair lass name of Tami, hows life these days......

[@donwon7592]

I have a guy in my neighborhood who does this for a living. Does amazing work! Even bought himself a half million dollar home off the income made from this type of art work. Awesome trait !

[@stevebackus5280]

must have a wife with a job..

[@donwon7592]

steve backus no. He's been doing it for forty years, each once of his carvings sell for around 400-700. Typically sells 3 a week. I even paid a good amount for him to cut down and create an eagle on a corner tree of my property. Those things sell quick in Michigan.

[@ckendama]

whats his name?

[@donwon7592]

crehan knutsen I'm not comfortable giving out his name. He lives in Oakland county Michigan if that helps.

[@ckendama]

my grandson is crehan he was logged in on my stuff, ask the guy if he heard of me, I would be curios steve backus

[@TotalRookie_LV]

Very few would dare to critique his artworks.

[@CaseyFinSF]

TotalRookie_LV At least not while he's got a chainsaw in his hands! Badda-Bing!😎

[@NewMessage]

Funny, 'cause chainsaws are what got me INTO trouble.

[@CaseyFinSF]

Nice works Sir !

[@stevenlarsson6887]

Anyone interested in meeting Steve should come to the Burning Bear festival every February in Ocean City. He is there every year along with Tony Robinson (2:50). I have known Steve for roughly 30 years and Tony for several years to, both are just awesome artists and great people.

[@brandonbright858]

Washington in the house!!! Love this! I had a feeling you he was a Washingtonian!

[@jaycesar4104]

He is so good. Nice work.

[@riowibowo6820]

Don't cut the tree to much right. .you must plant it again so the trees still there and produce it. .make the world green. .ok

[@stevebackus5280]

I only use trees that have been carefully and gently lowered to the ground to make shelter for homeless people...

[@Kyle-kh2sf]

[@luisfernandes4145]

Hi, great artist! Could you use an electric chainsaw? You would save money on gas, and wouldn't breathe those toxic fumes...

[@b_uppy]

Luís Fernandes Too preoccupied. Likely to cut the electric cord.

[@Seriouslydave]

@@b_uppy battery

[@b_uppy]

@@Seriouslydave Those are called cordless, versus battery, I believe. It is an important distinction if you go to order tools.

[@Seriouslydave]

@@b_uppy uh huh

[@GCurl]

'Murica

[@dalethebelldiver7740]

Make a deep sea diver.

[@stevebackus5280]

OK, when do you want it...

[@dalethebelldiver7740]

Really how much would that cost about 4' tall. lol I tried chainsaw art lol. I tried making a lantern out of a stump. Lol. Now from steel; I can build anything.

[@ckendama]

where do you live? shipping can be a deal breaker, $600 too $800 on my end.

[@niklasohlsson]

Why not electric chainsaws? Seems healthier and better torque? Nice work nonetheless!

[@b_uppy]

Niklas Ohlsson Too easy to cut the cord maneuvering about.

[@Never24Summer]

Only if you're a moron

[@b_uppy]

Never24Summer You'd better not use one then.

[@stevebackus5280]

electric is to slow 4000 rpm's, gas saws are 14000 to 15000 rpms, they also have hydrolic saws but very expensive...

[@kapilnevase5682]
