I wish I knew someone who could chainsaw a wooden Indian for me.

These folks seem to be up for it; standard warrior bust statue or something custom. A little pricey but unless you run across one of those artists at a fair or something not sure what other options you’d have.

Best to cut down a tree but leave it about 10' from the ground, so the artist can cut it to the size that he feels best for his carvings. The reason behind this is so it can't easily be liberated from your property. My vet has a German Shepard that was modeled after his dog in his front yard. You have to maintain them or they will start to rot, but when you spend what one of those sculptures costs, you will take care of it.

Had a carver stop, wanted some free logs(Linden ?) I'd put roadside.he wanted the smaller ones to carve bears. showed me pictures, nice little bears ! I said take one of the bigger ones (4' chainsaw wouldn't cut them..). I'm not an artist for sure BUT I could 'see' 3 bears holding hands in a circle,say around the 'honey tree'.
Most will carve cedar,easy to cut, smells nice too !
