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. AUTHOR: Simon O'Rourke, a former illustrator turned international chainsaw artist, works in sustainably sourced timber to create powerful narrative sculptures from fallen trees. 268 illustrations
