Chainsaw Wood Sculpture
From standing timber to one-of-a-kind sculpture.
Shari Staiduhar turns whole logs into hand-carved wood sculptures — bears, wolves, birds, lighthouses, cartoon characters, and custom commissions — carved entirely with a chainsaw.
Carved with a chainsaw
Every piece starts as a whole diameter log and is shaped entirely with a chainsaw — no molds, no two pieces alike.
Wild & domestic subjects
Bears, wolves, birds of prey, family pets, lighthouses, cartoon characters — if you can picture it, Shari can carve it.
Built to last outdoors
Sealed and finished for years of display in your yard, garden, or mountain cabin.
Have something in mind?
Shari takes on custom commissions — bring a photo of your pet, a favorite animal, or an idea, and let's talk about bringing it to life in wood.
