are there any chainsaw carving schools or classes in Louisiana?

Answer 1

Check out www.chainsawsculptors.com

Answer 2

depending on what you wish to carve, there are many excellent tutorials. i wouldnt recommend the recent movie or the older one by gunner hanson, thats a bid morbid, but perhaps you might want to visit the local library. most have up to date multi media centers and perhaps a video review might be helpful.
