Hooray!

(I can't look at her without thinking of that picture.)

1:27 I was always told not to use the tip of the chainsaw like that (can kick back at you)

Am I wrong about that?

Still upvote for *skillful carving.

In her own words... I "very carefully" carved the face with a chain saw.

I'm guessing emphasis on the "very carefully" part.

No, I would say you aren't wrong for normal operation, but carvers often sacrifice safety for tool functionality. Notice she still has the anti-kickback 'paddle' on the saw. It stops the chain 'instantly' (almost) if it's kicked back past your wrist's ability to bend. you'll still get a nasty cut, but won't cut your arm/head off.
Most chain saw carvers I've seen (lots around here, and on TV shows, especially ice carvers) actually remove that safety feature for better maneuverability on their small saws, it's nice to see one be relatively safe.

I'm actually disappointed it's not one piece, spikes included. That would be much harder.

In the comment section, Griffon said it would actually have been easier to do it in one piece, but also much more fragile.
