Chainsaw Art
from design to finished sculpture
Simon O'Rourke
Dynamic, powerful and surprisingly precise, the chainsaw is a sculptor’s ultimate tool. This book shows you how to master it – starting with safety and control, then moving through techniques for creating flowing forms, striking textures, deep cuts and dramatic shapes. With clear step-by-step sequences, expert tips and inspiring finished pieces, it’s both a practical manual and a creative masterclass.
