chainsaw art

Woodcarving with power

Chainsaw art is sculpture created by carving wood with a chainsaw, typically producing rustic figures like bears, eagles, or totem poles from logs or tree stumps.

The craft combines rough power tools with artistic skill, often demonstrated at fairs and competitions where artists work rapidly before audiences.

A chainsaw artist turned the dead oak into a seven-foot grizzly.
