The Lone Wolf,, not Comet related

Post by SASSY »

So we had this Red Cedar growing too close to the house causing foundation and other problems.
Shown here being trimmed so it can be dropped.

I saved a carveable stump but had no idea what I wanted there so it sat for over 2 years.
Image

Over that time I talked with Kane at Friendly Bear Chainsaw Carvings and we came up with a plan.
Because of the height of the stump I needed to build a substantial platform for him to work on.
Image
Image

Then he spent the better part of 3 days creating our Lone Wolf

I'd rather do it myself if it's done right or not,,,isn't that what hotrodding is all about

hey guys , thanks for the great comments! I really like the work too.
Kane is fairly young and was inexperienced when I first met him and I wasn't too keen on his work but
he blossomed into quite an artist with the chainsaw!
Pops, maybe I should name him Chuck(had to google McQuade,, lol)
Johnno, the place looks a little different these days,,, it's been falling for a week and 'spose to keep
it up for another week!!!

Nice work there Fred. And is that a 90's bobtail Eddie Bauer edition?
66 Cyclone GT; 245/60R15's on 15x8's and 215/70R15's on 15x7 Magnum's.
There's nothing like the sound of a pushrod V8 singing at the top of her lung's.

Thanks Stacey, the tail is warped around its left hind.
We actually hope to add a couple more carvings. Kane hasn't figured out how yet but I would like a den hole below "Chuck" with a pup's head peering out howling and a wood spirit face at the bottom back side.
