Hello,
It's been awhile but here goes. Pictures were taken at the U.S. Open Chainsaw carving championship in Eau Claire, Wisconsin earlier this month. Pretty amazing.

Outstanding. Definitely puts to shame all the chainsaw bears I see about every 50 ft up here!

What brand of saws were they using mostly? Stihl is probably a better saw. I had a Poulan, and it's called that cause you 'pull on' and 'pull on' it and it finally fires up.

Surely they didn't carve the teeth on the musky with just a chainsaw?!?! Those are amazing. People with talent like that just fascinate me.

I saw a few Stihl saws but I didn't pay all that much attention to them. I did notice that the bar came to more of a point than normal chain bar. I got a Mcculloch saw that starts about like yours.

Thanks for looking,

They had a variety of tools at hand. We got there on the last day so we missed a lot of the actual carving.

Thanks for looking,
