I created this snowman sculpture as a Christmas gift for my wife. I carved it with a chain saw from a single ash log; measuring 16" in diameter by 72" in length, and weighing nearly 300 pounds! After carving, I cut it into 4 sections: Hat, Head, Mid-section and bottom. I pinned the removable sections together with 1/2" conduit. After painting, I added stick arms, home-made broom, scarf, carved wooden carrot nose and hand-crafted corncob pipe.
I photographed this image set up in my yard in front of a curtain of Christmas lights. The star sparkles and other enhancements were done in Photoshop.

…I'm in big trouble when a wooden snowman is thinking for me. LOL

Doug---a revisit---and just to say----soon you will not have to mow the grass---you might have to shovel snow according to 'Snowman Splendor'!
Doug Kreuger replied:
Thanks for your encouraging words Nava, though, I would rather mow grass than clear snow. That reminds me, my snow-thrower needs repairing...

Nava Jo Thompson
Doug--this could 'almost' make me happy about winter coming around the corner! Cute and festive--would make great cards. f/v
Doug Kreuger replied:
Nava Jo, My wife, Debbie, feels the same way… When I gave her this gift, I sent her all over our home in search of the separated pieces—in a predetermined order. It was not until she had found half the parts, that she began to understand what she was getting. Our children still talk about this event every Christmas—nearly 20 years later!
Doug Kreuger replied:
PS: Some time I will show you the apple baskets and pumpkins I carved with a chain saw.
MaryJane Armstrong
