Stump Carving
Creating chainsaw art is a large part of Luke's work and is becoming ever more popular for both private customers and large public organisations. Often, when customers have to sadly have a tree felled, they don't want the stump to be destroyed, choosing instead to create a permanent, sculptural feature to be carved from the wood left behind.
Luke has decades of experience carving standing stumps and felled logs. He works closely with the customer to design and produce a carving of their choosing, which can be enjoyed for years to come.
