The Winning Professional Carving for 2008
Carved by David Koenig (photo by Amy Hyatt)
This annual event brings novice, amateur and professional wood carvers to the Pacific shoreline of Campbell River for five days during the last week in June to transform discarded log tailings into works of art.
About 30 carvers shape their logs using chainsaws, mauls, knives, chisels and various custom tools until a new creation is released from the heart of the wood. The finished sculptures are later displayed in various parks and sponsors' premises for everyone to enjoy year round.
Check out our galleries from previous years, the history of how things began or just browse around the site by clicking on the links in the sidebar.
