Post by: BowEd on August 18, 2016, 08:00:35 pm: The chainsaw carver was something else.Using walnut he darn near got a bald eagle to have a white sapwood head and brown body.That Iowa state fair or state fairs in general got enough things you can't all see in a day.Did'nt get a pic of the butter cow...sorry.

He is starting to get a lot of notice around the country. Love the big ol' hog napping away. I kinda feel that after a trip down Junk Food Row at the fair!!!

Post by: BowEd on August 19, 2016, 09:38:57 am: JW....Yes that could easily be.Many artists donate their work to these things.
neuse...Yes it can look that way.I see a ring in his nose to control him some though.A rope is around his neck too although it looks pretty thin for him.These big animals really don't know their own strength.Just walking around and leaning against a pipe panel could move it outward 2 to 3 feet without any effort at all.He seemed to be used to the human attention which is understandable getting that all of his life.

Post by: bjrogg on August 19, 2016, 11:17:29 am: Really nice pictures Ed that's the stuff I look at at the fair too. Chainsaw guys where at ours last year it is really neat watching them create something. I'm thinking Fred would stuff a lot of sausage skins.

Post by: DC on August 19, 2016, 11:46:33 am: Just curious. Does a pig have enough intestines to stuff itself? Honest question, not a "go stuff yourself joke) ;D ;D
