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!
