“Chainsaw Love is the ideal gift for that person in your life who, right now, is in his or her shop, sharpening the teeth of a chainsaw, or better yet, cutting up that fallen oak limb for next winter’s firewood. This book is written with real adulation and respect for one of the planet’s most revolutionary tools. Here’s to hoping that Chainsaw Love joins Lars Mytting’s Norwegian Wood as an essential book for any outdoorsperson.”–Nickolas Butler, author of Shotgun Lovesongs and A Forty Year Kiss
“As a longtime chainsaw industry journalist and tree farmer, I was impressed with the absolute accuracy of Mr. Card’s review of chain saw history, technology, and operational guidelines. Upon this background, he explores a number of interesting and unusual chainsaw applications; each one garnished with fascinating tales of the chainsaw practitioners involved. Chainsaw Love offers a wealth of information for the chainsaw enthusiast, and intriguing discoveries for any outdoorsman.”–Ken Morrison, past editor of Chain Saw Age
