Chainsaw Sculptures by Jon Mykkanen

As always at Woodworks Unlimited, we're constantly seeking new ways to express our creativity. Most recently, Jon has turned his hands to the art of chainsaw carving. It is a challenging, indeed dangerous, art form, but one that he seems to have a natural affinity for. It could be due to the 40 or more years he's been wielding a chainsaw, building log cabins and cutting countless cords of firewood.

But it takes more than familiarity with a saw to produce a sculpture. It also takes an artist's eye for shape, form and texture. As you can see from these photos, Jon has the ability to go from a raw log to a finished product that anyone would be proud to display at their home or camp. His specialty is custom carvings, but he also has numerous carvings in stock for purchase. These vary depending on what comes to mind. He also carves signs, posts, tables... the list is unlimited!

Should you have a tree in your yard that requires removal, Jon asks that you consider leaving a stump 10 feet or so tall that he can custom carve for you. The only requirement is that the stump isn't rotten.
