Event Details

Echoes of the Forest brings the forest to life through live chainsaw art demonstrations. Watch skilled carvers transform raw timber into intricate sculptures in real time, right before your eyes.

There’s something different about seeing it happen live. One minute you’re looking at a rough log, the next a bear, an eagle, or a forest critter is emerging from the wood chips. The carvers work fast, and the detail they pull out of a chainsaw is honestly hard to believe until you’ve seen it yourself.

Stop by, watch a piece take shape, and talk with the artists about their craft. Bring the kids, bring a camera, and plan to stay a while.
