Roadside Carver

I met Mitch today carving with his chainsaws by the side of the road.

This is some of Mitch's finished work. He prefers to carve with either Cedar or Pine.










Mitch is a Smoke Jumper by profession, so he is used to using chainsaws and working with wood. He carves during the "off season."











From what I could tell, Mitch was working with three separate saws, all three of them Stihls.











The carving he was working on when I showed up was a racoon. It's beginning to take shape here as he works.










If you are in the area, be sure to visit Mitch in his tent during the Home and Garden Show at the Redding Civic Auditorium, March 8 & 9.
