I saw a story on this guy the other day. He is one of those guys who has a
god given gift to create wonderful sculptures out of wood. No diagrams or
drawings. He just "frees the animal" from the wood. He specializes in
horses. His horse sculptures can bring $25,000. They are full size. He
does bears and other assorted wildlife. This guy is very good. This is his
website. He does most of the carving with chain saws.

He has slide shows and pictures on three separate pages on the website. I
feel like a ham fisted cave man after looking at his stuff. Enjoy.

I was thinking the same. Most chainsaw work is rather course and
difficult to tell a bear from a pig. This is really refined.

It's a good illustration of what separates an artist from a craftsman.

I like their wolves most of all, followed by the knights and their
horses.

Obviously, he is talented. I think being able to "omit the drawings" is
commonly acquired after a lot of practice. I understand It saves a lot
of time too,and permits the carver to proceed in a more avant-garde way,
compared to following a highly-structured (conventional) approach.
