Chainsaw Carving Championship - Saturday
Kootenai Country Montana
by Maggie Craig
September 27, 2018

Saturday's chainsaw carving competition continued with the event's 20 carvers working on their exhibition pieces as well as a second quick carve item to auction. The auction got underway at 2:00 p.m. to a responsive crowd.

The artistic talent of these carvers is extraordinary and their medium would seem to be difficult, yet they show us very impressively what both talent and practice can accomplish.

For more of the best of local and regional artwork including chainsaw carvings, bronze sculptures, photographs, and fine woodworking, visit Kootenai Country Montana Fine Art Gallery at 906 Montana Avenue.
