This is a chainsaw carving of a tree. It is an original piece of wood carving art. This tree was hand carved be me, Josh Carte, here in Ohio. It is a very unique wood sculpture and will make a perfect wood gift. It looks great on your porch, in your yard, on your desk...It even looks great out amongst real trees.
This carving weighs almost 3 pounds. It stands 11" tall and is 7 1/2" in diameter. I made this tree wood carving from a single piece of Black Walnut. What a beautiful piece of wood :) I began with a plain old log and shaped it into this wonderful tree using a chainsaw as my primary carving tool. When I finished with the chainsaw, I torched the fuzz off of the carving and then began detailing using a Dremel tool. Finally, I sanded the tree using a flap sander.
Be sure to view all 5 pictures of the carving. I took a picture from several angles of the tree. The primary picture is the view I most prefer :)
This tree is very, very detailed. I took pictures in different lighting to help show off the detail. It looks even better in person!
Everything in my shop is made by hand, by me, Josh.
I am in charge of everything that goes on in this shop....The carving, packaging, listing, shipping, communication...It's all me. I don't have any elves, helpers or workers. So, when you buy from me, you are supporting me and my family. We really appreciate you!
Chainsaw carvings are made of live wood. Live wood can change a little over time as it dries. Splitting/checking may occur over time. This only adds to the character of this carving created using tools of demolition. My logs have seasoned for several years. Chainsaw carvings should be cared for the same way you would care for outdoor furniture. A barrier between the carving and it's desired location is recommended. If exposed to the elements, a new coat of urethane should be applied one to two times per year.

My carvings can be cleaned using many different methods. A feather duster works nicely. Compressed air (duster or air compressor) also works well. If on a porch or indoors, my carvings will never need a new coat of sealer. Chainsaw carvings that are outdoors will need a fresh coat of sealer each year.
