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, then moved to Montana to live on her family's farm. I kept a few hives there, but felt carving would be the better way to provide for our family, in addition to working on the farm. We love the Blue Ridge Mountains and felt led by God to move our family back to the area in 2020. We are now located again in Blue Ridge. I have made carvings from native wood species in both Georgia and Montana, and I also 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!
