Help Turn Passion into Art: Support a Chainsaw Carver's Dream!

by matthew davies in Burnley, Lancashire, United Kingdom

I’m Matt, and what started as a simple hobby of chainsaw carving has now grown into something much more than I ever expected. However due to lack of equipment and space I’ve unable to really expand my skills especially doing larger pieces, I’ve spent countless hours creating pieces which i am happy with but i have an itch to create much larger and much more detailed pieces that will stand out compared to pieces I’ve already created. Because of this I've decided that i want to try and make this a full time busines instead of a hobby.

Originally I started out with pencil and charcoal drawings however i never felt fully satisfied with my drawings, not that they were in anyway bad, i just couldn’t do what i wanted to. However once i discovered chainsaw carving i finally found something that let me unleash my creativity (though waving a chainsaw in the air like a mad man helped). Thankfully my neighbours and local community have been nothing but supportive in my dreams even putting up with the sound of a chainsaw constantly (which i cannot thank them enough) and continuedly taking an interest in the next piece i create. Due to this carving has become so much more to me than just a hobby but a way to connect with others through my art. 

But due to budget limits I've been unable to pursue my work further which is why i am now asking for your help in creating this buisness, and allowing me to further my skills in chainsaw carving. Your support will go towards:

Professional equipment to increase precision and efficiency 

Larger logs and materials for creating larger and more detailed sculptures

A workshop space where I can expand my creativity and showcase my work

Marketing and promotion to help bring my carvings to the people who would love them! 

By contributing to this campaign, you're not just funding a business – you're helping to turn a dream into reality and supporting the growth of handmade art in a world that can often feel mass-produced. 

I’m incredibly grateful for any support you can offer, whether it’s through donations, sharing this campaign with others, or offering feedback on my work.

 Every little bit brings me one step closer to creating art that makes an impact!

Thank you for your generosity and belief in what I do. And giving me this chance to do something great!
