Beautiful.
A friend of mine hag a huge chainsaw-carved eagle. In about two years it had split in two pieces. I think it would have lasted much longer had he kept some type of sealer on it.

I had to take a bunch of limbs off our trees last weekend to keep the raccoons out of our attic. I did not, however, carve anything out of the pieces.
Notice how he's using the nose of the chainsaw like a dremel tool? Chainsaw companies reeeealy don't want you to do that due to the possibility of kickback. So I give him extra credit for creating nice artwork and still having all his limbs.

We have a chainsaw carving, and the guy we got it from said to keep linseed oil on it. It has darkened in the 10 years we've had it, but no splits or cracks.
