Default Liberty Bell Tree Trunk
After cutting down a big tree near the road I decided to try my hand at chain saw art. I know it's not great but it was my first chain saw art project. The crack is actually cut in and I ran a magic marker in it.

Believe it or not, it took me only an hour. I wanted to make it even nicer but my wife made me stop because she was getting tired of the noise. And the next day I was using the small saw for something else and I ran over it with my backhoe. Son of a...... I thought I totalled it but I found some replacement parts on ebay and fixed it back up. So, what's next? Hmmmm. Statue of Liberty???

That's cool. I've always wanted to try that but I don't have a chainsaw.

Way to get into some new territory. It turned out well and, like Ella mentioned, will make it easy to find your driveway.

Nice job! When I was growing up there was a guy in my town that did chainsaw carving. I always thought it was neat. I don't think my logical brain can see shapes in the whole like that. I might be able to get a replica of the Washington Monument out of a log

UPDATE - I had a guy call me and ask if I could carve a Liberty Bell in a stump of a large tree he had cut down. Cool. Maybe I've got a new career ! But so far, I only know how to do Liberty Bells. lol

Leave the crack out of the Liberty Bell and it could be just a bell. Now you have 2 things that you know how to do.
Business will be booming now!!!!
