Hal MacIntosh made his first chainsaw carving-a wooden goose decoy-in the mid-1960s. Since then, he has published two books (The Tree Climbers Guide Book and The Chain Saw Craft Book), written a number of articles on chainsaw carving for special-interest magazines, and made thousands upon thousands of chainsaw carvings. He runs his own business, called Timbercrafts, and his work has been commissioned by designers for businesses and private homes across the country.
