Wood Sculpture
Jim’s chainsaw carvings are done entirely with only tools: a regular 16″ chainsaw, and a 4 1/2″ angle grinder with a sanding disk. No chisels, motorized burrs or any other type of carving utensil is used.
Each piece is unique, ranging from outdoor carvings that age and weather naturally, to indoor sculptures of beauty and elengance. Many pieces are carved from historic wood such as old barn beams and posts. Others, like totems, are carved from free standing stumps and tree trunks.
