Welcome Simon Archer!

Hey Everyone,
 We just added four new carvers to the our gallery.

Simon Archer, a graduate of fine arts, hails from Liverpool, England. Simon took up carving about 16 years ago, but did not start using a carving bar until about 2 years ago. Inspired by nature, Simon is a freelance artist and creates sculptures, benches, chairs, and jewelry. Simon actively participates in community projects. His artwork can be found in several locations on the web. Simon's variety of artwork has the ability to catch admirers from across the spectrum. He also has a video on youtube showing a chainsaw milling of an oak. Simon uses a Stihl 066 for blocking out big carvings and milling 3 foot wide logs. Stihl 026 for blocking and shaping, and a Stihl MS200 with a 12" dime tip for detail work. His advice is to keep experimenting as some of his favorite pieces evolved from "Happy Accidents". We find him witty and quite pleasant to converse with. His website is definitely worth a stop to for those wishing to gain inspiration and treasure hunting.

We have been working hard to add more chainsaw carvers to our webpage, We love to share the beauty of creating something out of a tree. It takes great talent to work with a chainsaw, but to spend hours working with a chainsaw is a very hard job, but they take great pride in the art.

Would like to thank Mike Murphy from Murphy Tree Service and Custom Chainsaw Carving for his contribution to our Chainsaw Art Gallery.  See him and others at http://chainsawshed.com/pages/ChainsawCarvers/sculptorgallery.html

We have completed a new video concerning subcontracting components for a chainsaw.  You might find this interesting and cost saving.  For example, Carburetors are generally supplied to Chainsaw brands by Walbro, Zama and Tillotson.  Chain saw bars and chains are produced for most major chain saw brands by Oregon.

Welcome Chainsaw Mama/Faye

Welcome Chainsaw Mama To Chainsaw Shed!

　Faye Braaten - Move over all you Chain saw Papa's cause here comes Chainsaw Mama. Faye is a happy wife and mother of 3. Growing up in the Black Hills of South Dakota, she now lives in Loveland, Colorado. Faye started out with oil painting and drawing, but in 1999, She picked up a chainsaw and tried carving. Judging from her artwork, we would venture to say that in addition to well behaved children, she is a proud mama of chainsaws that do exactly what she expects them to do. Faye won 2nd place during her first year of carving out doing guys with up to 15 years carving experience. Our small gallery is just a taste of her artwork. Her website is
www.chainsawmama.com and is stock full of photo's and interesting information on each picture. Chainsaw Mama's tip to carvers, "Treat your body as the most important tool. You can't create without it." Faye uses a Husky 346xp and a Stihl 250.
