Russ Jones: Chainsaw Artist

Our friend Russ Jones has an impressive collection of chainsaws. He used to just cut firewood, but he has developed an amazing talent for creating art out of logs. The first two pictures below show some of his recent work. The final picture is of a Buddha that Russ created very early in his chainsaw art career. Russ considered the Buddha somewhat of a failure, but I always liked it. He agreed to give the Buddha to me and it now has a prized spot in our back yard. It has been dubbed, "The Buddha of the Lake".
