    Eastern Red Cedar is not actually cedar it is a species of Juniper.

      Hear! *HEAR!*

      Do you think anyone actually listens to us besides the trees?
      I am about to walk out on my long term relationship because of all of his “Tree Hugger” teasing and refusal to protect our property.

    Thats so awesome, I used to watch AH so my only thought when I hear chainsaw artist is Griffon Ramsey. Clicked on the video cause the title got me curious and sure enough its Griffon Ramsey

    I saw this woman on a pumpkin carving show,, she always used a chainsaw

  10. WolfeCanada

    July 28, 2021 at 5:58 pm

    Good to see her, I haven’t heard much of Griffon since she divorced Geoff.

    • WolfeCanada

      July 28, 2021 at 6:00 pm

      For those who may not be aware, Griffon used to be married to Geoff Ramsey of Achievement Hunter/Rooster Teeth.

  15. Ryan Dunn

    July 28, 2021 at 8:04 pm

    Wow. So you let this person get a platform. That’s pretty sad. I’m guessing people don’t know or just forgot.

      July 28, 2021 at 8:05 pm

      Also sad she kept that last name. Leech.

    Didn’t they get divorced… Why still using the name Ramsey?

    • FAIRYGIRL911

      July 29, 2021 at 2:51 am

      bc she wants to

    • Ultra Violet

      July 29, 2021 at 6:46 am

      Why does she have to change? She got known as Ramsey, she can’t keep it of she wants. Haven’t you ever heard of Susan Sarandon?

  19. posthocprior

    July 28, 2021 at 9:48 pm

    What’s the advantage of using a chainsaw, versus any other implement? (Shouldn’t this question have been asked?)

    • Warriorette12

      July 28, 2021 at 11:37 pm

      Seems to be a pretty effective tool for large wood carvings

    • posthocprior

      July 29, 2021 at 12:14 am

      @Warriorette12 As compared to what other implement(s)?

    • Nathan Thomson

      It’s hard to make a chair of this size with just a whittling knife.

    I remember seeing Griffon way back when on The Modern Rogue channel and it’s awesome to see her getting more exposure. Super cool what she does!

    She looks better and better every time I see her. So cool to see her being featured.
    I wonder why she still has Geoff’s last name?

    • Ian Austin

      August 3, 2021 at 6:07 pm

      Some artists get known by a certain name, so when they get married/divorced it’s better to keep a name so that people can either find you easier, or so you don’t accidentally lose fans by changing your name. A lot of my musician friends kept their names when they got married for this reason

    • XandeR ToXic

      August 3, 2021 at 6:36 pm

      @Ian Austin Makes sense. Thank you!

    I wonder why she still calls herself Ramsey even though her and Geoff have been divorced for quite awhile now

    • PacMonster0

      August 5, 2021 at 9:39 pm

      She thought it was a cool name. No law says she has to lose the last name when they separate. Fun fact but “Ramsey” wasn’t Geoff’s original last name either. I think it was Finkle or something along those lines.

  108. FuckLoadOfFat

    August 5, 2021 at 9:44 pm

    Was her last name always Ramsey or did she keep Geoffs last name?

    • Zephra Martin

      August 8, 2021 at 11:36 pm

      He took her last name and then kept it in the divorce

    • FuckLoadOfFat

      August 8, 2021 at 11:55 pm

      @Zephra Martin He took his stepfathers name way back when which was Ramsey, Griffin’s last name used to be O’Connell.

    I think it would look better with a metal seat rather than wood, that way the wood is still the focal point, but an amazing design all the same as we can all see.

    Looks great but I don’t like that much burnt wood, I thought it had interesting colours all ready.

      @Braden Upshall a lot of stuff has changed, but I still enjoy the content Achievement Hunter produces, for the most part

    It’s great to see Griffin. A shame her and Geoff got divorced, especially since he’s changed so much by quiting drinking. Still, they are both happy and that’s what counts.
