Woodfest Wales Chainsaw Carving & axe forging

[Perrari]

Some of the Amazing Chainsaw carvings at this years show.





Nic Westermann (nic on here) forging axes. They truly are beautiful axes.

Good pictures thanks for posting them- I didn't get to see the finished chainsaw sculptures. Perrari very kindly brought me a jiffy bag full of O1 offcuts- not a steel I have every used before. Be nice to see how it compares to my usual choices when I get a chance to have a play.

Lovely pics - of both axe forging and the carvings - were there any good dragons? I really want a dragon like this ...

 

[Perrari]

Don't remember seeing any dragons on their own Elen, but there were Dragons as part of something else.

The skill of these guys is amazing, they had a competition there where they were given an hour to produce something, and even those were amazing after an hour.
Well worth a visit if you have time next year.

Here are a few more pics from last year.

Every year I say I will go and see this but every year I forget. Only down the road too.
