[Woodcarver] Carve a tree?

[Oregonkarver at aol.com]

I would start with a chainsaw myself.
 
Actually I have carved several pine type trees lately for a miniature  
carving seane I working on.  I took a 1/2? inch dowel and used by table  disk sander 
to tapper it from about the 2 1/4" inch mark and then mixed the  paint color 
I wanted with snow tex and they came out pretty good.  I also  turned a 4x4 on 
the lathe and did the same paint job and it looks pretty good  also.

What's the BEST way to carve  trees??? (Pine spuce maple  ect ect ????)"
 
 
Like the old days Byron mentioned, Jan - first find a  tree (Pine spuce maple 
 ect ect ????), Cut tree, sharpen  carving tools and knives, then carve away 
everything that does not look like a  tree.
