MICK BURNS' chainsaw sculpture

¬ Welcome to MICK BURNS' chainsaw sculpture - bespoke wood carving on a grand scale. On these pages you will find everything you need to know about transforming deadwood into monumental pieces of sculpture.

¬ I learned to use a chainsaw as part of my job in forestry and tree surgery, and have become very used to the handling of chainsaws. I am inclined to use the chainsaw from beginning to end on a sculpture, often producing what amounts to a detailed sketch in wood. The only other tool kept in my "armoury" is usually a power sander. The finishing time for these sculptures is typically hours, or, depending on the size, going on for a few days.

¬ All chainsaw sculpture depicted within this website has been carved by myself, Mick Burns. The galleries feature a wealth of finished ideas but, as each carving is based on a unique piece of wood, it is impossible to exactly replicate any particular item. I will be happy to take individual orders and could also perform the work as part of an organised event.
