(Facebook Page) - JUSTIN DRIVER: Graves Co.: Farmington, KY)
Justin Driver
...is an astonishingly talented and creative wood carver
from far western Kentucky whose principal tool is...a CHAINSAW!
Graves County, Kentucky
Justin Driver was born in Benton, Kentucky, in 1982. He began carving with a chainsaw about 2015, and though based in Kentucky, he travels most of the country doing carving shows...
Like many other chainsaw carvers, Driver creates lots of pieces, large and small, that reveal the distinctive grooved marks left by the tool.
BUT — this following series of photos of a striking piece show how Driver sometimes completes a work
begun with a chainsaw using additional carving tools and a good deal of smoothing and sanding.
More works by this creative crafter/artist are shown below — some in the "rough" or with stained/painted final finishes:
... and some chainsawed works are not crafted in Driver's studio/workshop, but on-site, on a tree left right where it grew!
