I've seen pieces of this man's work making its way around the web but only now knew his name or his huge talent. You will find Randi Boni here. Enjoy folks.

My father is from Parrottsville, TN, the home of this guy. The last time I was there, there was a combined gas station, general store, post office - nothing else. Guess it is bigger now. I don't know Mr. Boni but have seen his work and he is very good. Definitely interesting site - thanks for posting it.I've seen pieces of this man's work making its way around the web but only now knew his name or his huge talent. You will find Randi Boni here.

Additional Edit: A patient of mine was an international woodcarving champion. Most of his carvings were walking canes with Native American themes. He did all of them with a pocket knife and that is what he used in the competitions. However, he occasionally did larger pieces similar to the carousel horse pictured on the link ironhat gave. These larger pieces he carved with a chain saw. When I asked why he used a chainsaw on these larger pieces, he simply replied, "Faster."

He does some very impressive work.
When one of my younger brothers was still in high school, he decided to try chainsaw carving. So he got my dad's saw and a log off his wood pile and proceeded to carve out a rabbit. It looked very good. I asked how he did it and his answer was "I cut away everything that didn't look like a rabbit."David
