They call him chainsaw

On the way to work, there is this bit of curvy road that winds down and across the Forss River.  It is here that a place called Forss Cottage sits.  This place is very distracting because not only is it a tricky bit of road, but there is always something unusual to see.

A guy everyone calls Chainsaw lives at Forss cottage and as far as I can tell, all he does is carve wood with his chainsaw.  When you get used to his style, you realize the entire wooded area is filled with his sculptures.

Notice the hoist for large items
He also moves them around and you can sometimes see them on the other side of the road - again not good for your driving concentration.  

He seems to like to move the couple having intimate relations on a snowboard the most - you never know what tree it will be hanging from.

Hmm...
On some very rare occasions, it is completely obvious what it is that he's carved.

I love her flares
On other occasions, you have to use your imagination. 

I think Chainsaw lives alone
The other week the local paper did a piece on Chainsaw. Apparently, he is working on a chess set with human sized pieces.  The journalist asked Chainsaw why are you doing it and Chainsaw said because I can.
