Chainsaw carvings are sculptures created by artists using a chainsaw as their primary tool. This technique allows for the rapid removal of large amounts of wood, enabling the artist to shape and detail their work quickly. Common materials used for chainsaw carvings include softwood like pine and cedar, which are easier to carve. These carvings can range from simple designs to intricate figures, often depicting animals, mythical creatures, or abstract forms. Chainsaw carving has gained popularity at festivals and competitions, where artists showcase their skills and creativity. The finished pieces can be displayed in gardens, parks, or homes, adding a unique artistic touch.
