My first chainsaw carving

Not the greatest but I think I got the hang of it. This is a tiki statue made out of a rail road tie. Nasty stuff, I won't be using those again.

Nice carving but are you going to start eating people now?

Hey give it a shot. I've always liked the bears and eagles I see some guys do and always wanted to try it. Had this hunk of would leftover and figured I see what I could do. I Tiki seemed like a good idea for a first try. Next I want to get some better wood and try an animal.

Here's one for ya:

Q: What did the cannibal say to the other cannibal when they ate a clown?

A: Did yours taste funny?

A: People kept thinking the back of his head was the bean dip.

Like the Tiki. Hope you switch to another medium: railroad ties are soaked in creosote, which has cyanide in it. You don't want to breath that dust buddy.

Yep. Was wearing an N95 while I did it. Won't be using those anymore. Nasty stuff.

It's not the dust that's so bad, it's the fumes from machining the RR Tie.A N95 helps a bit, a 3M respirator would be a better choice.

Sas my boy,

That may be the best chainsaw carved Tiki statue I've seen all day!

Went through a few Creosote Treatment plants in my day, I swear the smell sticks with you for weeks.

Please switch to untreated Cottonwood.

Thanks
