Chainsaw carving competition draws carvers to Oregon coast

For the past 23 years, carvers from across the globe have traveled to small coastal town of Reedsport over Father’s Day weekend for the Oregon Divisional Chainsaw Carving Championships. During the event, carvers are given a roughly four-foot-by-eight-foot log of Sitka Spruce, a massive, fast-growing tree native to Oregon. The competition starts Thursday morning, and carvers have until Sunday afternoon to complete their creation. *** There’s a place for you here.
