About 8 yrs ago I happened upon a chainsaw carving event and was fascinated! We watched these amazing men and women create beautiful sculptures each day. I told my husband I thought I could do that if I had a chainsaw. His reply, "you'd cut your arm off!" However; he bought me a chainsaw for Mother's Day and I've been at it ever since. I'
About 8 yrs ago I happened upon a chainsaw carving event and was fascinated! We watched these amazing men and women create beautiful sculptures each day. I told my husband I thought I could do that if I had a chainsaw. His reply, "you'd cut your arm off!" However; he bought me a chainsaw for Mother's Day and I've been at it ever since. I'm a self-taught carver, not having other carvers in my area to learn from. Carving is therapy to me.

After teaching American History and coaching high school football and track for 30 years, Pat Holbert retired and decided to go in a different direction. He flew to Europe and signed up for classes at the prestigious Geisler-Moroder school of wood-carving in Elbiginalp, Austria. Here he learned the centuries-old art of carving wood by hand. He then came back home where he thought he might be able to translate what he learned in Austria to the art of chainsaw carving...and the rest is history.
