I have been carving since 1998. My wife and I, along with Pat Dwelly, started the Oregon Divisional Chainsaw Carving Championship in 2000. We are happy to be just carving there since 2009. We remember the first year of the competition, hoping that people would come. The people of Reedsport showed up and have supported this show for 26 years! Thank you for the support — this show would have never grown and been the success it is today without all of you and the carvers that took a chance on a new show. I consider myself somewhat retired at this point. I guess what retirement looks like for me is just carving what I want to carve and picking commissions that interest me. Chainsaw carving has been good to us. It has given us the chance to travel around the world and meet people that mean a lot to us. I enjoy carving wildlife and Norman Rockwell type scenes. I got into carving by going to the fair and seeing carvers. I was fascinated with the idea of carving with a chainsaw, just like many spectators. The main difference was my wife said we couldn’t afford to buy a sculpture, so I decided I could just make one myself. At the time I had no idea the things that I would create over my career or that any of that was even possible. I was always looking for something else to try, learning from every sculpture. My stuff looked pretty rough at first, but with each mistake I learned what I could do differently so that it would be better the next time. Things I learned along the way was to never copy someone else’s work. If you want to carve a duck, look at a duck and copy the real thing. That is how you develop your own style. A sharp chain is your friend. Start with your biggest saw and don’t put it down until there is nothing more you can carve with it, then go to the next size saw down. Oops, out of room.
