Mountain Man

CHAINSAW ARTIST

Hello, I'm Caleb! I started my carving career about 15 years ago in Blue Ridge, GA. It had been my "side job", in addition to working at a Christian Camp and beekeeping. In 2018, I married my beautiful bride, Nikki, and we lived on her family's farm in Montana for a couple of years. I felt carving would be the better way to provide for our family, in addition to working on the farm. In 2020 we actually moved back to the Blue Ridge area, because we felt there would be greater opportunity for our businesses to grow. We also grew from a family of two to a family of five! We have two daughters, now, Lenya and Hadassah, and our son, Judah, is awaiting us in Heaven. After three years in Blue Ridge, we sensed the Lord leading us back to Montana, and are now located in the "Big Sky State" again! I have made all my carvings from native wood species in both Georgia and Montana, and I continue to do on-site custom carvings.There is something satisfying about taking a piece of wood destined to rot or burn and, instead, turning it into a beautiful creation for others to enjoy. The speed, strength, and ruggedness of using a chainsaw to create art also has its appeal. As young boys, my twin brother and I spent many Sunday afternoons with Gramps and Gram clearing and burning brush in their woods. This formative time prepared me to pick up a chainsaw over a decade later. One day a friend challenged me to carve something and offered to give me a chainsaw in exchange for a bear. I spent countless hours practicing, and there were many failed attempts early on, but I stuck it out. When I first started carving, I had one general purpose saw. Now I have a number of professional saws with special carving bars on them, along with some finishing tools. Practically anything can be carved with a chainsaw! If it can be imagined, it can be carved...within reason! The source of my inspiration and creativity is The True and Living God who created all things. - CalebThank you for visiting our website!
